in reply to change hour in timestamp

Hi,

I suggest to use a parser to parse your string into a DateTime object. I also suggest to handle time zones properly and not just by subtracting a value from the hours. What will happen when you try that and the time is earlier than 02:00 ?

use strict; use warnings; use feature 'say'; use DateTime::Format::Strptime; my $string = 'Sat Jun 4 01:47:31 2022'; my $parser = DateTime::Format::Strptime->new( pattern => '%a %b %d %T %Y', locale => 'en_US', time_zone => 'America/New_York', on_error => 'croak', ); my $datetime = $parser->parse_datetime($string); $datetime->set_time_zone('America/Denver'); say $datetime->strftime('%a %b %d %T %Y'); __END__

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
