NAME
POSIX::strftime::GNU - strftime with GNU extensions
SYNOPSIS
use POSIX::strftime::GNU;
use POSIX 'strftime';
print POSIX::strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %T %z', localtime);
command line:
C:\> set PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=debug
C:\> perl -MPOSIX::strftime::GNU -MAnyEvent -e "AE::cv->send"
DESCRIPTION
This is a wrapper for POSIX::strftime which implements more character
sequences compatible with GNU systems.
The module is 100% compatible with format of date(1) command from GNU
coreutils package.
It can be helpful if you run some software on operating system where
these extensions, especially `%z' sequence, are not supported, i.e. on
Microsoft Windows. On such system some software can work incorrectly,
i.e. logging for Plack and AnyEvent modules might be broken.
Even GNU C Library's strftime(3) function does not provide 100%
compatibility with date(1) command so this module can be useful also on
Linux.
The XS module is used if compiler is available and can module can be
loaded. The XS is mandatory if `PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_XS' environment
variable is true.
The PP module is used when XS module can not be loaded or
`PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_PP' environment variable is true.
None of these modules are loaded if both `PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_PP'
and `PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_XS' environment variables are defined and
false.
INSTALLING
Cygwin
This module requires `libcrypt-devel' package.
BUGS
Timezone name is guessed with several heuristics so it can differ from
timezone name returned by date(1) command.
