Net::Time(3)
NAME
  Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface

SYNOPSIS
      use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);

      print inet_time();	  # use default host from Net::Config
      print inet_time('localhost');
      print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');

      print inet_daytime();	  # use default host from Net::Config
      print inet_daytime('localhost');
      print inet_daytime('localhost', 'tcp');

DESCRIPTION
  "Net::Time" provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.

  inet_time ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
      Obtain the time on "HOST", or some default host if "HOST" is not given
      or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The optional
      argument "PROTOCOL" should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or
      "udp". The result will be a time value in the same units as returned by
      time() or undef upon failure.

  inet_daytime ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
      Obtain the time on "HOST", or some default host if "HOST" is not given
      or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The optional
      argument "PROTOCOL" should define the protocol to use, either "tcp" or
      "udp". The result will be an ASCII string or undef upon failure.
