Tutoring computer science, you need to discuss the built-in functions of the language(s) you use. \u00a0The tutor opens a discussion about Perl’s handling of time.<\/h1>\n

Perl, apparently a language meant to process data in large organizations, has a few built-in ways to present the time.<\/p>\n

One of Perl’s time functions is localtime<\/span>. On my systems, these few lines<\/p>\n

#!\/usr\/bin\/perl
\n$tim=localtime;
\nprint “The time is $tim”;
\n<\/span>
\ngive output like<\/p>\n

The time is Sun Jan 11 15:43:32 2015<\/span><\/p>\n

The above code works for me on both Windows and Linux. However, it uses only one aspect of Perl’s time handling.<\/p>\n

Speaking of time: today, I won’t take much of yours:) I will be discussing more about Perl’s built-in time features in future posts.<\/p>\n
