-;# 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.
+;# This file has been superseded by the Time::Local library module.
+;# It is implemented as a call to that module for backwards compatibility
+;# with code written for perl4; new code should use Time::Local directly.
-;# 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.
+;# The current implementation shares with the original the questionable
+;# behavior of defining the timelocal() and timegm() functions in the
+;# namespace of whatever package was current when the first instance of
+;# C<require 'timelocal.pl';> was executed in a program.
