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 unix-like time value 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.
