This is a script meant for CGI use. You need the GD package installed in order to use this. Simply call the script in a browser and it gives you the current time as supplied by the server. Works with strict, but warnings are disabled because of uninitialized values as well as one depreceated variable :) Time returned in 12 hour format (A.M./P.M.)

#!/usr/bin/perl -T

             use strict;
        use GD;@_[2..3,1,rand
       (1)]=((localtime)[$*++,
      ,1..1+1],"A.M."); $_[1]-=
    12and$_[$| ]="P.M." unless$_[
  rand( 1)+1]<12;$_[1]||= 12;push@_
 ,sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d %s",@_[$ *
,3,2,$[]);sub _{print"Content-type: "
,$,,"image/png\n",,,$,,,$',,$_,,,''.'
';binmode STDOUT;print $_[5]->png;}$_
 [5]=new GD::Image(9*length$_[4], 2*
  2*2*2);$_[6]=$_[5]->colorAllocate
  ($|,$%,$|);$_[5]->transparent($_[
    6]);$_[6]=$_[5]->colorAllocate
      ($ |, $%, 255 );$ _[ 5]
       ->string (gdGiantFont
        ,$|,$%,@_[4,5]);&_;
