Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface
use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);
print inet_time(); # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_time('localhost');
print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');
print inet_daytime(); # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_daytime('localhost');
print inet_daytime('localhost', 'tcp');
Net::Time provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.
- inet_time ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
-
Obtain the time on
HOST, or some default host if HOST is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in
RFC868. The optional argument PROTOCOL should define the protocol to use, either tcp or
udp. The result will be a unix-like time value or undef upon failure.
- inet_daytime ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
-
Obtain the time on
HOST, or some default host if HOST is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in
RFC867. The optional argument PROTOCOL should define the protocol to use, either tcp or
udp. The result will be an
ASCII string or undef upon failure.
