Re: Where did all the time go?

Tangential, but you might look at POSIX and strftime or something like DateTime::Format rather than monkeying with reimplementing wheels.

As to your question you can see how the precedence changes omitting the parens plays out if you stick -MO=Deparse,-p before the -e.

Update: Yeah, what he said below.

POSIX and `strftime` I'd suggest Time::Piece instead, it's been a core module since 5.10. `<update>` `$ perl -MTime::Piece -le 'print localtime->strftime("%Y.%m.%d.%H%M")' 2019.08.01.2239` [download] `</update>` DateTime::Format Note that link goes to a defunct module, you probably meant the `DateTime::Format::*` family of modules instead. But plain DateTime has both `strftime` and CLDR formatting built right in, that's generally been enough for me (I usually parse with DateTime::Format::Strptime).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

DateTime::Format
