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.
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.
