Hi
Processing pod/perlfaq5.pod with pod2man (via perldoc) gives
this:
seconds since the epoch, you would call the stat function,
then use localtime(), gmtime(), or POSIX:\fIs0:strftime() to
convert this into human-readable form.
and:
The POSIX:\fIs0:strftime() approach has the benefit of
being, in theory, independent of the current locale. See
There is feature iteraction adding different sorts of markup.
Attached is a patch but its really just bandaid. C<sub guesswork>
really needs to walk along its output, performing each transformation
as appropriate, but trying to transform the result of earlier actions.
Hope this is helpful.
