Pkgsrc changes:
- MAINTAINER cannot take care of the package anymore.
- Marked the package as supporting installation to DESTDIR.
- It's a pure Perl package.
Changes since version 1.12:
===========================
1.17 2007-01-25
- I made the same test count mistake as was in 1.14 again. This
release fixes the test count (again) when running on a system that
doesn't support negative epochs (like Win32). Patched by Kenichi
Ishigaki (again).
1.16 2007-01-23
- The leap year fix in 1.14 was pretty broken, as it checked after
converting the year to Perl's internal (year - 1900) format.
1.15 2007-01-22
- Fix Local.t test count when running on a system that doesn't support
negative epochs (like Win32). Patched by Kenichi Ishigaki.
1.14 2007-01-21
- Fixed leap year check to produce the right answer for years outside
of the 32-bit epoch range (such as 1900 and 2100). See rt.perl.org
#31241. Reported by Nathan Zook.
1.13 2006-08-09
- Switched to using Test::More for the tests.
- Fixed a bug that occurred around the DST change for Europe/London
(and probably other time zones with a positive UTC offset). If
given, the hour immediately after the change (2:00 AM for
Europe/London), then the returned epoch was 3600 seconds too
large. Reported by Roger Picton. See RT #11662.
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.
