 Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS #

     use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);

     print inet_time();          # use default host from Net::Config
     print inet_time('localhost');
     print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');

 "Net::Time" provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote
 machine.

FFuunnccttiioonnss “inet_time([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])” Obtain the time on $host, or some default host if $host is not given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The optional argument $protocol should define the protocol to use, either “tcp” or “udp”. The result will be a time value in the same units as returned by ttiimmee(()) or _u_n_d_e_f upon failure.

 "inet_daytime([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])"
     Obtain the time on $host, or some default host if $host is not given
     or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The optional
     argument $protocol should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or
     "udp". The result will be an ASCII string or _u_n_d_e_f upon failure.
