Hi,
I'm trying to provide localised times for my website users
and I'm using the following code
use Time::Local;
#if user is english
$ENV{TZ} = "CET";
# if the user is spanish
$ENV{TZ} = "CET";
# I then have values for a date&time coming out of a column in the database
# I use a DATE_FORMAT function in the sql so my datetime comes out like
# 2nd March 14:00
# I thought putting this into localtime function of Time::Local module would
produce
# date and CET time
my $localisedstartdatetime = localtime($start);
# however
print $localisedstartdatetime # this returns epoch time (Thu Jan 1 00:00:00
1970)
# when I format the date like
# 00, 00 , 14:00:00 , 2, 3, 2003
# i.e seconds, minutes etc; I get same result
I know I'm probably not understanding the time format very well,
Can anyone advise?
Thanks
Dermot
