Net::Time(3)

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. 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. 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.
