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.

   Functions
       "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.
