Well, this is a "Silly use for Perl", but there is no such section, so I post it here.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Tk;
BEGIN {*Tk::Clock::time = sub { time * -1 } }
use Tk::Clock;
my $wm = MainWindow->new;
my $ck = $wm->Clock->pack();
$ck->config(dateFormat => "dd-mm-yyy");
MainLoop;
This clock displays the time since the Epoch - but into the past.
To have it display the time going back from the moment the clock started, use
BEGIN {
my $time = time;
*Tk::Clock::time = sub { 2 * $time - time };
}
before loading Tk::Clock.
update: while being silly, it also shows an interesting fact about UNIX time, and how to override core functions for modules to-be-loaded... eeevil... ;-)

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>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
