Time::gmtime(3)                                                Time::gmtime(3)



NAME
     Time::gmtime - by-name interface to Perl's built-in gmtime() function

SYNOPSIS
      use Time::gmtime;
      $gm = gmtime();
      printf "The day in Greenwich is %s\n",
         (qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun))[ gm->wday() ];

      use Time::gmtime w(:FIELDS;
      printf "The day in Greenwich is %s\n",
         (qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun))[ gm_wday() ];

      $now = gmctime();

      use Time::gmtime;
      use File::stat;
      $date_string = gmctime(stat($file)->mtime);


DESCRIPTION
     This module's default exports override the core gmtime() function,
     replacing it with a version that returns "Time::tm" objects.  This object
     has methods that return the similarly named structure field name from the
     C's tm structure from time.h; namely sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year,
     wday, yday, and isdst.

     You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace
     as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag.  (Note that this still
     overrides your core functions.)  Access these fields as variables named
     with a preceding tm_ in front their method names.  Thus, $tm_obj->mday()
     corresponds to $tm_mday if you import the fields.

     The gmctime() funtion provides a way of getting at the scalar sense of
     the original CORE::gmtime() function.

     To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the use an
     empty import list, and then access function functions with their full
     qualified names.  On the other hand, the built-ins are still available
     via the CORE:: pseudo-package.

NOTE
     While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct module
     to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
