I'm trying to break out a timestamp into it's appropriate fields, like
so:
my ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) =
localtime($my_time);
but no matter if I use localtime or gmtime, $my_time gets analyzed as either in
the server's timezone or in UTC. I need to break apart the timestamp in
$my_time without it being changed. In other words, I'm trying to get $hour,
$min, $sec, etc, in _my_ timezone, not the server's nor in UTC.
I finally got it to work using:
$ENV{'TZ'} = $main::global->{'config'}->{'timezone'};
($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) = localtime();
but I read somewhere that this may cause problems depending on the platform (?)
or something. I can't find it again. Is this solution O.K. to use, or is
there a better way to do what I'm after?
I know that I can use DateTime for this, but I'm trying to see what I
can do without it.
Thanks,
Frank
