This is the perl5 TimeDate distribution. It requires perl version 5.003
or later
This distribution replaces my earlier GetDate distribution, which was
only a date parser. The date parser contained in this distribution
is far superior to the yacc based parser, and a *lot* fatser.
The parser contained here will only parse absolute dates, if you want a date
parser that can parse relative dates then take a look at the
Time modules by David Muir on CPAN.
The file Local.pm.new which is included in this distribution is a patched
version of Time::Local which comes with perl. It fixes two problems
- It determines the zone offset based on now rather than epoch
- It fixes a problem with looping forever when a year > 1900 is passed in
You install the library by running these commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
