Not at all. Look at the arguments...

Function POSIX equivalent Purpose of Function
CORE::gmtime POSIX::gmtime Returns GMT time components from epoch time.
Time::Local::timegm [none] Returns the epoch time from GMT time components.
CORE::localtime POSIX::localtime Returns local time components from epoch time.
Time::Local::timelocal POSIX::mktime Returns the epoch time from local time components.

POSIX is missing the very function that's needed here.

I'm not sure that's quite right...

sub gmtime {
    usage "gmtime(time)" if @_ != 1;
    CORE::gmtime($_[0]);
}
