[p5sagit/p5-mst-13.2.git] / lib / ctime.pl

;# ctime.pl is a simple Perl emulation for the well known ctime(3C) function.
#
# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
# This legacy library is deprecated and will be removed in a future
# release of perl.
#
# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
# programming techniques.
#
# Suggested alternative: the POSIX ctime function

warn( "The 'ctime.pl' legacy library is deprecated and will be"
      . " removed in the next major release of perl. Please use the"
      . " POSIX module (ctime function) instead." );
