39 Time::localtime.pm - by-name interface to Perl's built-in localtime() function
44 printf "Year is %d\n", localtime->year() + 1900;
50 $date_string = ctime(stat($file)->mtime);
54 This module's default exports override the core localtime() function,
55 replacing it with a version that returns "Time::tm" objects.
56 This object has methods that return the similarly named structure field
57 name from the C's tm structure from F<time.h>; namely sec, min, hour,
58 mday, mon, year, wday, yday, and isdst.
60 You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace
61 as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still
62 overrides your core functions.) Access these fields as
63 variables named with a preceding C<tm_> in front their method names.
64 Thus, C<$tm_obj-E<gt>mday()> corresponds to $tm_mday if you import
67 The ctime() funtion provides a way of getting at the
68 scalar sense of the original CORE::localtime() function.
70 To access this functionality without the core overrides,
71 pass the C<use> an empty import list, and then access
72 function functions with their full qualified names.
73 On the other hand, the built-ins are still available
74 via the C<CORE::> pseudo-package.
78 While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Template
79 module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
