NAME
   POSIX::strftime::GNU - strftime with GNU extensions

SYNOPSIS
     use POSIX::strftime::GNU;
     use POSIX 'strftime';
     print POSIX::strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %T %z', localtime);

   command line:

     C:\> set PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=debug
     C:\> perl -MPOSIX::strftime::GNU -MAnyEvent -e "AE::cv->send"

DESCRIPTION
   This is a wrapper for POSIX::strftime which implements more character
   sequences compatible with GNU systems.

   The module is 100% compatible with format of date(1) command from GNU
   coreutils package.

   It can be helpful if you run some software on operating system where
   these extensions, especially `%z' sequence, are not supported, i.e. on
   Microsoft Windows. On such system some software can work incorrectly,
   i.e. logging for Plack and AnyEvent modules might be broken.

   Even GNU C Library's strftime(3) function does not provide 100%
   compatibility with date(1) command so this module can be useful also on
   Linux.

   The XS module is used if compiler is available and can module can be
   loaded. The XS is mandatory if `PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_XS' environment
   variable is true.

   The PP module is used when XS module can not be loaded or
   `PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_PP' environment variable is true.

   None of these modules are loaded if both `PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_PP'
   and `PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_XS' environment variables are defined and
   false.

BUGS
   Timezone name is guessed with several heuristics so it can differ from
   timezone name returned by date(1) command.
