Re^4: Time::Piece reversibility

Thanks again. So localtime()->strptime does behave differently.

So localtime()->strptime's handling of time zones is the underlying issue. Certainly these two should be equivalent, no?

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More ('no_plan');
use Time::Piece;

$ENV{'TZ'} = 'America/Los_Angeles';

my @tests = (
  ['2017-06-19 10:07:42', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'],
  ['2017-06-19 10:07:42-0700', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z'],
);

is($Time::Piece::VERSION, 1.31);

foreach my $test (@tests) {
  my ($datestr, $fmt) = @$test;
  my $t = localtime->strptime($datestr, $fmt);

  is($t->epoch, 1497892062);
  is($t->tzoffset, -25200);
  is($t->strftime, 'Mon, 19 Jun 2017 10:07:42 PDT');
  is($t->strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), $datestr);
}

I've only used localtime->strptime() to get a localtime instance from a time without a time zone. To get a localtime instance directly from a time with a time zone, I just combine localtime and Time::Piece->strptime()->epoch. `#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use Test::More ('no_plan'); use Time::Piece; $ENV{'TZ'} = 'America/Los_Angeles'; my $datestr = '2017-06-19 10:07:42-0700'; my $t = localtime(Time::Piece->strptime($datestr, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z +')->epoch); is($Time::Piece::VERSION, 1.31); is($t->epoch, 1497892062); is($t->tzoffset, -25200); is($t->strftime, 'Mon, 19 Jun 2017 10:07:42 PDT'); is($t->strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z'), $datestr);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
