Re^3: working with epoch seconds

Use a module:

use strict;
use warnings;
use DateTime;

my $dt = DateTime->now;
print $dt->strftime ("%Y %m %d, %H:%M:%S %Z\n");
$dt->set_time_zone ('America/New_York');
print $dt->strftime ("%Y %m %d, %H:%M:%S %Z\n");
__END__

Re^4: working with epoch seconds by jeanluca (Deacon) on Oct 09, 2006 at 12:34 UTC
it seems to work :), but what is the difference between POSIX 'strftime' and DateTime::strftime ? LuCa	[reply]

DateTime::strftime works on DateTime objects, while POSIX::strftime works on the parameters you supply each time you call it. Apart from that, there should be no difference between them: `use DateTime; use POSIX qw/strftime/; print DateTime-> now-> set_time_zone ('Europe/Madrid')-> strftime ("%Y %m %d, %H:%M:%S %Z\n"); print strftime "%Y %m %d, %H:%M:%S %Z\n", localtime; __END__ 2006 10 09, 14:57:36 CEST 2006 10 09, 14:57:36 CEST` [download] -- David Serrano	[reply] [d/l]
