time::warp

Warp(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						 Warp(3pm)

NAME

       Time::Warp - control over the flow of time

SYNOPSIS

	   use Time::Warp qw(scale to time);

	   to(time + 5);  # 5 seconds ahead
	   scale(2);	  # make time flow twice normal

DESCRIPTION

       Our external experience unfolds in 3 1/2 dimensions (time has a dimensionality of 1/2).	The Time::Warp module offers developers control
       over the measurement of time.

API

       o   to($desired_time)

	   The theory of relativity asserts that all physical laws are enforced relative to the observer.  Since the starting point of time is
	   arbitrary, it is permissable to change it.  This has the effect of making it appear as if time is moving forwards or backward
	   instanteously.  For example, on some types of operating systems time starts at Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969 (this will likely change as we
	   approach 2030 and with the acceptance of 64-bit CPUs).

	     to(time + 60*60);	     # 1 hour ahead

       o   scale($factor)

	   Changes the speed at which time is progressing.

	     scale(scale * 2);	 # double the speed of time

	   Note that it is not possible to stop time or cause it to reverse since this is forbidden by the second law of thermodynamics.
