Systems should be able to deal with it, although it seems that some Linux distributions had a problem with it.. If a system allows the leap second to be represented by hh:mm:60 then scripts and programming practices where the seconds range is defined as 0..59 can run into trouble...

We are running the HP-UX 11.11 and Linux AS 3.0. so, shall we need to make any changes for leap second i.e. insert the leap second on 1st Jan 2006 or does the system have some setup which would take care of this automatically.

Standard C library routines like localtime() take a number of UTC seconds elapsed since the start of the epoch (Jan 1, 1970). These times in seconds can be a filetime, system time, or some other time in the past or... (1 Reply)

NAME
DateTime::LeapSecond - leap seconds table and utilities
VERSION
version 1.04
SYNOPSIS
use DateTime;
use DateTime::LeapSecond;
print "Leap seconds between years 1990 and 2000 are ";
print DateTime::Leapsecond::leap_seconds( $utc_rd_2000 ) -
DateTime::Leapsecond::leap_seconds( $utc_rd_1990 );
DESCRIPTION
This module is used to calculate leap seconds for a given Rata Die day. It is used when DateTime.pm cannot compile the XS version of this
code.
This library is known to be accurate for dates until December 2009.
There are no leap seconds before 1972, because that's the year this system was implemented.
o leap_seconds( $rd )
Returns the number of accumulated leap seconds for a given day, in the range 0 .. 22.
o extra_seconds( $rd )
Returns the number of leap seconds for a given day, in the range -2 .. 2.
o day_length( $rd )
Returns the number of seconds for a given day, in the range 86398 .. 86402.
