- ;# timelocal.pl
- ;#
- ;# Usage:
- ;# $time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);
- ;# $time = timegm($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);
-
- ;# These routines are quite efficient and yet are always guaranteed to agree
- ;# with localtime() and gmtime(). We manage this by caching the start times
- ;# of any months we've seen before. If we know the start time of the month,
- ;# we can always calculate any time within the month. The start times
- ;# themselves are guessed by successive approximation starting at the
- ;# current time, since most dates seen in practice are close to the
- ;# current date. Unlike algorithms that do a binary search (calling gmtime
- ;# once for each bit of the time value, resulting in 32 calls), this algorithm
- ;# calls it at most 6 times, and usually only once or twice. If you hit
- ;# the month cache, of course, it doesn't call it at all.
-
- ;# timelocal is implemented using the same cache. We just assume that we're
- ;# translating a GMT time, and then fudge it when we're done for the timezone
- ;# and daylight savings arguments. The timezone is determined by examining
- ;# the result of localtime(0) when the package is initialized. The daylight
- ;# savings offset is currently assumed to be one hour.
