Description

The Time::Piece class in SPVM has methods to manipulate dates and times.

Usage

use Time::Piece;

my $tp = Time::Piece->localtime;
say "Time is " . $tp->cdate;
say "Year is " . $tp->year;

Interfaces

Cloneable

Fields

is_localtime

has is_localtime : byte;

The flag if the "tm" field is interpreted as a local time.

tm

has tm : Sys::Time::Tm;

Time information.

epoch

has epoch : ro long;

Seconds from epoch time.

Class Methods

localtime

static method localtime : Time::Piece ($epoch : long = -1L);

Creates a bew Time::Piece object given the epoch time, and returns it.

This instance represents the user's specified timezone.

The "epoch", "tm", and "is_localtime" fields are set to appropriate values.

static method localtime_tp : Time::Piece ($tp : Time::Piece);

Creates a new Time::Piece object by interpreting $tp as the user's specified timezone, and returns it.

This instance represents the user's specified timezone,

The "epoch", "tm", and "is_localtime" fields are set to appropriate values.

static method gmtime : Time::Piece ($epoch : long = -1L);

Creates a new Time::Piece object given the epoch time, and returns it.

This instance represents UTC timezone,

The "epoch", "tm", and "is_localtime" fields are set to appropriate values.

gmtime_tp

static method gmtime_tp : Time::Piece ($tp : Time::Piece);

strptime

static method strptime : Time::Piece ($string : string, $format : string);
