Re: Time::Piece and Timzone?

Your second option works fine for me (using Time::Piece 1.31_04):

$ perl -MTime::Piece
my $date_string = "Jun 03 19:49:27 2018 +0200";
my $fmt = '%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %z';
my $time=Time::Piece->strptime( $date_string, $fmt );
print $time->strftime() ."\n";

So I guess the strptime() implementation in your O/S differs from mine. Which O/S are you using?

You are correct, code runs just fine on a OS-X machine. Had a look at the changelog for Time::Piece, 1.15 seems to be too old... 1.16 - Implement %z for the internal implementation of strptime(). Thanks for the help	[reply]

Yes, it does now. However in the somewhat older versions (prior to 1.17) such as the one used by suba on an RHEL6 box, that wasn't the case.	[reply]
