perl 4.0 patch 35: (combined patch)

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

;# timelocal.pl
;#
;# Usage:
;#	$time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);
;#	$time = timegm($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);

;# These routines are quite efficient and yet are always guaranteed to agree
;# with localtime() and gmtime().  We manage this by caching the start times
;# of any months we've seen before.  If we know the start time of the month,
;# we can always calculate any time within the month.  The start times
;# themselves are guessed by successive approximation starting at the
;# current time, since most dates seen in practice are close to the
;# current date.  Unlike algorithms that do a binary search (calling gmtime
;# once for each bit of the time value, resulting in 32 calls), this algorithm
;# calls it at most 6 times, and usually only once or twice.  If you hit
;# the month cache, of course, it doesn't call it at all.

;# timelocal is implemented using the same cache.  We just assume that we're
;# translating a GMT time, and then fudge it when we're done for the timezone
;# and daylight savings arguments.  The timezone is determined by examining
;# the result of localtime(0) when the package is initialized.  The daylight
;# savings offset is currently assumed to be one hour.
