In order to create a time object with a different time, you call
localtime with a different argument. Time::Object just overrides
localtime.
So, you could do something like:
use Time::Object;
$t = localtime(12345);
print $t->year;
So this is less than convenient of you just have a string like
'6/1/2001'. Try, perhaps, Time::ParseDate:
use Time::ParseDate;
use Time::Object;
my $date = parsedate("6/1/2001");
my $t = localtime($date);
