The only way to do this without shelling out to the net time command is
to use the SetLocalTime() API from Kernel32.dll.

Subject: How to change the date/time of PC
Hi,
I can't find any perl function to change the date/time of PC.
The only way I found is `cmd.exe /C date $today`, call DOS function.
Any one can give me a clue?
Thanks,
Xiaofang Zhou
