This software extends the 2038 barrier to the year 2098.
Time::Local::Extended is a Perl module that can be used to extend the 2038 date boundary to 2098. This can be helpful in situations where you need to work with dates beyond the conventional date manipulation provided by CORE::localtime and Time::Local::timelocal. By using this module, you can easily work with dates that are as far out as 2098, giving you a total of sixty more years to postpone the problem.
One of the best things about this module is that it is incredibly easy to use. Simply import the necessary functions using the 'use' statement, and you're all set to go. The module provides several functions such as localtime, timelocal, timegm, gmtime, UNIX_TIMESTAMP, and FROM_UNIXTIME.
The SYNOPSIS section of the Perl module documentation provides several examples of how this module can be used in real-world situations. For instance, you can use the localtime function to get the current system time and store it in an array for later use. Similarly, you can use the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function to convert a date string to a UNIX timestamp.
If you're working with a database, you can use the module to extract the date from a specific row using the selectrow_array function, and then convert it to a UNIX timestamp using the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function. Similarly, you can use the FROM_UNIXTIME function to convert a UNIX timestamp to a date string that can then be used to update a database row.
Overall, Time::Local::Extended is a highly useful Perl module that can help extend the date boundary in your code to work with dates beyond 2038. With its extensive range of functions and easy-to-use syntax, this module is an excellent choice for anyone looking to manipulate dates in their Perl code.
