140=head1 NAME
141
142Time::Local - efficiently compute time from local and GMT time
143
144=head1 SYNOPSIS
145
396e3838 146 $time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year);
147 $time = timegm($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year);
06ef4121 148
149=head1 DESCRIPTION
150
396e3838 151These routines are the inverse of built-in perl functions localtime()
06ef4121 152and gmtime(). They accept a date as a six-element array, and return
153the corresponding time(2) value in seconds since the Epoch (Midnight,
154January 1, 1970). This value can be positive or negative.
155
156It is worth drawing particular attention to the expected ranges for
eee32007 157the values provided. The value for the day of the month is the actual day
158(ie 1..31), while the month is the number of months since January (0..11).
06ef4121 159This is consistent with the values returned from localtime() and gmtime().
160
e36f48eb 161The timelocal() and timegm() functions perform range checking on the
396e3838 162input $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, and $mon values by default. If you'd
e36f48eb 163rather they didn't, you can explicitly import the timelocal_nocheck()
164and timegm_nocheck() functions.
ac54365a 165
e36f48eb 166 use Time::Local 'timelocal_nocheck';
3cb6de81 167
a1f33342 168 {
a1f33342 169 # The 365th day of 1999
e36f48eb 170 print scalar localtime timelocal_nocheck 0,0,0,365,0,99;
ac54365a 171
a1f33342 172 # The twenty thousandth day since 1970
e36f48eb 173 print scalar localtime timelocal_nocheck 0,0,0,20000,0,70;
ac54365a 174
a1f33342 175 # And even the 10,000,000th second since 1999!
e36f48eb 176 print scalar localtime timelocal_nocheck 10000000,0,0,1,0,99;
a1f33342 177 }
ac54365a 178
e36f48eb 179Your mileage may vary when trying these with minutes and hours,
ac54365a 180and it doesn't work at all for months.
181
06ef4121 182Strictly speaking, the year should also be specified in a form consistent
183with localtime(), i.e. the offset from 1900.
184In order to make the interpretation of the year easier for humans,
185however, who are more accustomed to seeing years as two-digit or four-digit
186values, the following conventions are followed:
187
188=over 4
189
190=item *
191
192Years greater than 999 are interpreted as being the actual year,
193rather than the offset from 1900. Thus, 1963 would indicate the year
90ca0aaa 194Martin Luther King won the Nobel prize, not the year 2863.
06ef4121 195
196=item *
197
198Years in the range 100..999 are interpreted as offset from 1900,
199so that 112 indicates 2012. This rule also applies to years less than zero
200(but see note below regarding date range).
201
202=item *
203
204Years in the range 0..99 are interpreted as shorthand for years in the
205rolling "current century," defined as 50 years on either side of the current
206year. Thus, today, in 1999, 0 would refer to 2000, and 45 to 2045,
207but 55 would refer to 1955. Twenty years from now, 55 would instead refer
208to 2055. This is messy, but matches the way people currently think about
209two digit dates. Whenever possible, use an absolute four digit year instead.
210
211=back
212
213The scheme above allows interpretation of a wide range of dates, particularly
214if 4-digit years are used.
90ca0aaa 215
06ef4121 216Please note, however, that the range of dates that can be actually be handled
217depends on the size of an integer (time_t) on a given platform.
218Currently, this is 32 bits for most systems, yielding an approximate range
219from Dec 1901 to Jan 2038.
220
221Both timelocal() and timegm() croak if given dates outside the supported
222range.
223
224=head1 IMPLEMENTATION
225
226These routines are quite efficient and yet are always guaranteed to agree
227with localtime() and gmtime(). We manage this by caching the start times
228of any months we've seen before. If we know the start time of the month,
229we can always calculate any time within the month. The start times
230themselves are guessed by successive approximation starting at the
231current time, since most dates seen in practice are close to the
232current date. Unlike algorithms that do a binary search (calling gmtime
233once for each bit of the time value, resulting in 32 calls), this algorithm
234calls it at most 6 times, and usually only once or twice. If you hit
235the month cache, of course, it doesn't call it at all.
236
237timelocal() is implemented using the same cache. We just assume that we're
238translating a GMT time, and then fudge it when we're done for the timezone
239and daylight savings arguments. Note that the timezone is evaluated for
240each date because countries occasionally change their official timezones.
241Assuming that localtime() corrects for these changes, this routine will
242also be correct. The daylight savings offset is currently assumed
243to be one hour.
244
245=head1 BUGS
246
247The whole scheme for interpreting two-digit years can be considered a bug.
248
249Note that the cache currently handles only years from 1900 through 2155.
250
251The proclivity to croak() is probably a bug.
