NAME

Net::Time − time and daytime network client interface

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.
