 Time::gmtime - by-name interface to Perl's built-in gmtime() function

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS #

  use Time::gmtime;
  $gm = gmtime();
  printf "The day in Greenwich is %s\n",
     (qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun))[ $gm->wday() ];

  use Time::gmtime qw(:FIELDS);
  gmtime();
  printf "The day in Greenwich is %s\n",
     (qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun))[ $tm_wday ];

  $now = gmctime();

  use Time::gmtime;
  use File::stat;
  $date_string = gmctime(stat($file)->mtime);

 This module's default exports override the core ggmmttiimmee(()) function,
 replacing it with a version that returns "Time::tm" objects.  This object
 has methods that return the similarly named structure field name from the
 C's tm structure from _t_i_m_e_._h; namely sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year,
 wday, yday, and isdst.

 You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace
 as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag.  (Note that this still
 overrides your core functions.)  Access these fields as variables named
 with a preceding "tm_" in front their method names.  Thus,
 "$tm_obj->mday()" corresponds to $tm_mday if you import the fields.

 The ggmmccttiimmee(()) function provides a way of getting at the scalar sense of
 the original CCOORREE::::ggmmttiimmee(()) function.

 To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the "use"
 an empty import list, and then access function functions with their full
 qualified names.  On the other hand, the built-ins are still available
 via the "CORE::" pseudo-package.

NNOOTTEE #

 While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct module
 to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
