131 These routines are the inverse of built-in perl functions localtime()
132 and gmtime(). They accept a date as a six-element array, and return
133 the corresponding time(2) value in seconds since the Epoch (Midnight,
134 January 1, 1970). This value can be positive or negative.
136 It is worth drawing particular attention to the expected ranges for
137 the values provided. The value for the day of the month is the actual day
138 (ie 1..31), while the month is the number of months since January (0..11).
139 This is consistent with the values returned from localtime() and gmtime().
141 The timelocal() and timegm() functions perform range checking on the
142 input $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, and $mon values by default. If you'd
143 rather they didn't, you can explicitly import the timelocal_nocheck()
144 and timegm_nocheck() functions.
146 use Time::Local 'timelocal_nocheck';
149 # The 365th day of 1999
150 print scalar localtime timelocal_nocheck 0,0,0,365,0,99;
152 # The twenty thousandth day since 1970
153 print scalar localtime timelocal_nocheck 0,0,0,20000,0,70;
155 # And even the 10,000,000th second since 1999!
156 print scalar localtime timelocal_nocheck 10000000,0,0,1,0,99;
159 Your mileage may vary when trying these with minutes and hours,
160 and it doesn't work at all for months.
162 Strictly speaking, the year should also be specified in a form consistent
163 with localtime(), i.e. the offset from 1900.
164 In order to make the interpretation of the year easier for humans,
165 however, who are more accustomed to seeing years as two-digit or four-digit
166 values, the following conventions are followed:
172 Years greater than 999 are interpreted as being the actual year,
173 rather than the offset from 1900. Thus, 1963 would indicate the year
174 Martin Luther King won the Nobel prize, not the year 2863.
178 Years in the range 100..999 are interpreted as offset from 1900,
179 so that 112 indicates 2012. This rule also applies to years less than zero
180 (but see note below regarding date range).
184 Years in the range 0..99 are interpreted as shorthand for years in the
185 rolling "current century," defined as 50 years on either side of the current
186 year. Thus, today, in 1999, 0 would refer to 2000, and 45 to 2045,
187 but 55 would refer to 1955. Twenty years from now, 55 would instead refer
188 to 2055. This is messy, but matches the way people currently think about
189 two digit dates. Whenever possible, use an absolute four digit year instead.
193 The scheme above allows interpretation of a wide range of dates, particularly
194 if 4-digit years are used.
196 Please note, however, that the range of dates that can be actually be handled
197 depends on the size of an integer (time_t) on a given platform.
198 Currently, this is 32 bits for most systems, yielding an approximate range
199 from Dec 1901 to Jan 2038.
201 Both timelocal() and timegm() croak if given dates outside the supported
204 =head1 IMPLEMENTATION
206 These routines are quite efficient and yet are always guaranteed to agree
207 with localtime() and gmtime(). We manage this by caching the start times
208 of any months we've seen before. If we know the start time of the month,
209 we can always calculate any time within the month. The start times
210 are calculated using a mathematical formula. Unlike other algorithms
211 that do multiple calls to gmtime().
213 timelocal() is implemented using the same cache. We just assume that we're
214 translating a GMT time, and then fudge it when we're done for the timezone
215 and daylight savings arguments. Note that the timezone is evaluated for
216 each date because countries occasionally change their official timezones.
217 Assuming that localtime() corrects for these changes, this routine will
222 The whole scheme for interpreting two-digit years can be considered a bug.
224 The proclivity to croak() is probably a bug.
