I am trying to use POSIX::strftime to get the timezone of the system. Below is the script which perform this job.
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
use strict;
use warnings;
use POSIX qw(strftime);
my $timeZone = strftime "%z", localtime();
print "$timeZone \n";
Output:
# perl t3.pl
+0100
Now when I merge this logic in another script it an getting below error.
Usage: POSIX::strftime(fmt, sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, wday = -1
+, yday =
-1, isdst = -1) at test.pl line 2537 (#1)
(F) You called a POSIX function with incorrect arguments.
See POSIX/FUNCTIONS for more information.
Uncaught exception from user code:
Usage: POSIX::strftime(fmt, sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, w
+day = -1, yday = -1, isdst = -1) at test.pl line xxxx.
I am not able to get why this error is coming. Here one thing to be noted that I am using Time::localtime for some purpose.
So even I tried to use specific function from the package but still I am getting same error.
Any thoughts why this error could be coming.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>

<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
