NAME
perlmacos - Perl under Mac OS (Classic) SYNOPSIS
For Mac OS X see README.macosx Perl under Mac OS Classic has not been supported since before Perl 5.10 (April 2004). When we say "Mac OS" below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and not Mac OS X. DESCRIPTION
The port of Perl to to Mac OS was officially removed as of Perl 5.12, though the last official production release of MacPerl corresponded to Perl 5.6. While Perl 5.10 included the port to Mac OS, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, a core part of Perl's module installation infrastructure officially dropped support for Mac OS in April 2004. AUTHOR
Perl was ported to Mac OS by Matthias Neeracher <neeracher@mac.com>. Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com> continued development and maintenance for the duration of the port's life. perl v5.16.2 2012-10-11 PERLMACOS(1)

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. AUTHOR
