| Summary : Easy, readable, efficient timestamp functions
|
Description :
This module makes it easy to include timestamp functions that are simple,
easy to read, easy to parse, and fast. For simple timestamps perl\'s
built-in functions are all you need: perlfunc/time, perlfunc/gmtime (or
perlfunc/localtime), and perlfunc/sprintf...
Sometimes you desire a simple timestamp to add to a file name or use as
part of a generated data identifier. The fastest and easiest thing to do is
call perlfunc/time to get a seconds-since-epoch integer.
Sometimes you get a seconds-since-epoch integer from another function (like
perlfunc/stat for instance) and maybe you want to store that in a database
or send it across the network.
This integer timestamp works for these purposes, but it\'s not easy to read.
If you\'re looking at a list of timestamps you have to fire up a perl
interpreter and copy and paste the timestamp into perlfunc/localtime to
figure out when that actually was.
You can pass the timestamp to \'scalar localtime($sec)\' (or \'scalar
gmtime($sec)\') but that doesn\'t sort well or parse easily, isn\'t
internationally friendly, and contains characters that aren\'t friendly for
file names or URIs (or other places you may want to use it).
See the perlport/Time and Date manpage for more discussion on useful
timestamps.
For simple timestamps you can get the data you need from perlfunc/localtime
and perlfunc/gmtime without incurring the resource cost of the DateTime
manpage (or any other object for that matter).
So the aim of this module is to provide simple timestamp functions so that
you can have easy-to-use, easy-to-read timestamps efficiently.
