1;# timelocal.pl
2;#
3;# Usage:
4;# $time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);
5;# $time = timegm($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);
6
7;# These routines are quite efficient and yet are always guaranteed to agree
8;# with localtime() and gmtime(). We manage this by caching the start times
9;# of any months we've seen before. If we know the start time of the month,
10;# we can always calculate any time within the month. The start times
11;# themselves are guessed by successive approximation starting at the
12;# current time, since most dates seen in practice are close to the
13;# current date. Unlike algorithms that do a binary search (calling gmtime
14;# once for each bit of the time value, resulting in 32 calls), this algorithm
15;# calls it at most 6 times, and usually only once or twice. If you hit
16;# the month cache, of course, it doesn't call it at all.
17
18;# timelocal is implemented using the same cache. We just assume that we're
19;# translating a GMT time, and then fudge it when we're done for the timezone
20;# and daylight savings arguments. The timezone is determined by examining
21;# the result of localtime(0) when the package is initialized. The daylight
22;# savings offset is currently assumed to be one hour.
