NAME

Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime); print inet_time(); # use default host from Net::Config print inet_time(localhost); print inet_time(localhost, tcp); print inet_daytime(); # use default host from Net::Config print inet_daytime(localhost); print inet_daytime(localhost, tcp);

DESCRIPTION

Net::Time provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.

Functions

“inet_time([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])”: Obtain the time on $host, or some default host if $host is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The optional argument $protocol should define the protocol to use, either tcp or udp. The result will be a time value in the same units as returned by time() or undef upon failure.
“inet_daytime([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])”: Obtain the time on $host, or some default host if $host is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The optional argument $protocol should define the protocol to use, either tcp or udp. The result will be an ASCII string or undef upon failure.
