DESCRIPTION

EARLY RELEASE: API MIGHT CHANGE.

Overview of the module:

  • The *startof* functions

    These functions basically "round" the time to the start of minute, hour, day, or so on. For example, "time_startofday_local" is basically equivalent to:

    my @t = localtime(); # e.g. 1623894635 (Thu Jun 17 08:50:35 2021 Asia/Jakarta)
$t[0] = 0; # zero the second
$t[1] = 0; # zero the minute
$t[2] = 0; # zero the hour
Time::Local::timelocal_nocheck(@t); # convert back to epoch. result is 1623862800 (Thu Jun 17 00:00:00 2021 Asia/Jakarta)

    or alternatively:

    my $t = time();
my @t = localtime($t);
$t - $t[0] - $t[1]*60 - $t[2]*3600;

Keywords: start of period, time rounding, truncating timestamp.

FAQ

Where are "startofweek" functions?

Use the "startofsunday" or "startofmonday" functions; since some people use Sunday as start of the week and some people use Monday.
