Net::Time - man - phpman

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.
