localtime() has actually two representations, array and scalar.
By assigning it to a $variable the scalar representation is forced.
Certain functions like print can handle both representations, so a cast to scalar is necessary:
Dear UNIX Folks,
I guess everyone of us like to know what sysadmin typically do during his free time.
Not what he/she likes as an hobbies.. but what activities does he/she often indulge in other than facing the monitor.
Maybe we can come up this a better stereo-typed for sysadmin.

hi ,
I would like to ask how to get past 5 minutes system time and date, if i have following to get current time.
# get current time
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year) = localtime(time);
$year = $year + 1900;
$mon = sprintf ("%02s",$mon+1);
$mday = sprintf ("%02s",$mday);

Hello
I have a question that may sound stupid after and maybe it is.
We are syncing our sytem time via ntp from a reference time server. all works quite well
but due to a mall applikation which not accepts timestamps from our servers that in the future,
and if it even was 1 ms, we have to... (1 Reply)

time::epoch
Epoch(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Epoch(3)NAME
Time::Epoch - Convert between Perl epoch and other epochs
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl -wl
use Time::Epoch;
my $perlsec = 966770660; # Sun Aug 20 07:24:21 2000 -0400 on Mac OS
my $epochsec = perl2epoch($perlsec, 'macos', '-0400');
my $perlsec2 = epoch2perl($epochsec, 'macos', '-0400');
print $perlsec;
print $perlsec2;
print $epochsec;
# correct time on Unix:
print scalar localtime $perlsec;
# correct time on Mac OS (-0400):
print scalar localtime $epochsec;
DESCRIPTION
Exports two functions, "perl2epoch" and "epoch2perl". Currently only goes between Perl (Unix) epoch and Mac OS epoch. This is in
preparation for an eventual move of Perl to its own universal epoch, so we can get the system epoch of any platform that differs from
Perl's.
Epochs
o macos
Takes additional optional parameter of time zone differential. If time zone differential not supplied, we guess by getting the
different between "localtime" and "gmtime" with <Time::Local::timelocal>.
BUGS
o Hm. With the above test, "scalar localtime $perlsec" under my Linux box and "scalar localtime $epochsec" under my Mac OS box are off
by one second from each other. Maybe a leap second thing? Odd.
