in reply to The opposite of localtime()

There are a number of ways that you can do this. The DateTime module can do it (as can the other Date modules), and POSIX has the mktime function. The Time::Local module has the timelocal (so, backwards in name too), which shows up in the Dates section of perlfaq4.

    I checked out timelocal from Time::Local. It does exactly what I was looking for, including even the reversed name :-)

    Thank you all for your responses! I found what I needed.
