NAME
    Time::gmtime - by-name interface to Perl's built-in gmtime() function

SYNOPSIS
     use Time::gmtime;
     $gm = gmtime();
     printf "The day in Greenwich is %s\n",
        (qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun))[ $gm->wday() ];

     use Time::gmtime qw(:FIELDS);
     gmtime();
     printf "The day in Greenwich is %s\n",
        (qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun))[ $tm_wday ];

     $now = gmctime();

     use Time::gmtime;
     use File::stat;
     $date_string = gmctime(stat($file)->mtime);

DESCRIPTION
    This module's default exports override the core gmtime() function, replacing it with a version
    that returns "Time::tm" objects. This object has methods that return the similarly named
    structure field name from the C's tm structure from time.h; namely sec, min, hour, mday, mon,
    year, wday, yday, and isdst.

    You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace as regular variables
    using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still overrides your core functions.) Access these
    fields as variables named with a preceding "tm_" in front their method names. Thus,
    "$tm_obj->mday()" corresponds to $tm_mday if you import the fields.

    The gmctime() function provides a way of getting at the scalar sense of the original
    CORE::gmtime() function.

    To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the "use" an empty import list,
    and then access function functions with their full qualified names. On the other hand, the
    built-ins are still available via the "CORE::" pseudo-package.

NOTE
    While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct module to build a struct-like
    class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
