We are experiencing strange behavior with the
following code:
-----SNIP-----
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
$ENV{'MOD_PERL_API_VERSION'} = '2';
use strict; use Time::localtime; my $foot = time();
my $foo = localtime($foot); my $year = $foo->year() + 1900;
my $headers = <<"EOF"; Content-type: text/html Transfer-Encoded: chunked \n EOF print $headers;
print "Timezone is ".$ENV{'TZ'}." <BR>"; print "Time::localtime: "; printf "%d : %4d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d \n", $foot, $year, $foo->mon + 1, $foo->mday, $foo->hour, $foo->min, $foo->sec; print "<BR>System date: ".`date`; -----SNIP----- When we load this code as a CGI through a webserver
and continually click 'refresh' the Time::localtime output will eventually
change to reflect the time zone of the client! I'm CDT (system time)
and another use is UTC, once this triggers workstation I will see
Time::localtime output in UTC through my web client. Example:
Timezone is America/Chicago
Time::localtime: 1130518420 : 2005-10-28 11:53:40 System date: Fri Oct 28 11:53:41 CDT 2005 will change to:
Timezone is America/Chicago
Time::localtime: 1130518420 : 2005-10-28 18:53:40 System date: Fri Oct 28 11:53:41 CDT 2005 Once the user in the UTC time zone triggers
this. We tested this with users in Hong Kong with the
same results. Server information:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon
Update 5)
perl-5.8.0-89.10 - compiled with
threads
mod_perl 1.99._09-10
Apache 2.0.46-54
We also tested this under the latest mod_perl and
the latest perl (on the same server):
perl-5.8.7 (compiled with and without
threads)
mod_perl 2.0.2
Apache 2.0.49
Server uname: Linux migration.klauser.com
2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue May 17 17:52:23 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
We've tried the script with CGI(), I currently have
it posted without. Same results. We've tried placing the time
functions in a subroutine with private variables with the same results.
Tried using Thread::Semaphore with the same results. If anyone would like
the URL to see this for themselves write me off list. If there is need for
additional information than I apologize in advance for not submitting it and
will do so upon request.
