These routines are the inverse of built-in perl functions localtime()
|
||
|
|
and gmtime(). They accept a date as a six-element array, and return
|
||
|
|
the corresponding time(2) value in seconds since the system epoch
|
||
|
|
(Midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC on Unix, for example). This value can
|
||
|
|
be positive or negative, though POSIX only requires support for
|
||
|
|
positive values, so dates before the system's epoch may not work on
|
||
|
|
all operating systems.
