Now I want to use POSIX module. But
There is also a

What can I do to still use
Time::localtime
And also the POSIX module?
Use import lists.
From the Time::localtime module docs:
To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the
use an empty import list, and then access function functions with
their full qualified names. On the other hand, the built-ins are
still available via the CORE:: pseudo-package.
And, from the POSIX docs:
Everything is exported by default with the exception of any POSIX
functions with the same name as a built-in Perl function, such as
abs, alarm, rmdir, write, etc.., which will be exported only if you
ask for them explicitly. This is an unfortunate backwards
compatibility feature. You can stop the exporting by saying use
POSIX () and then use the fully qualified names (ie. POSIX::SEEK_END).
So, in your code you could do something like this:
use POSIX; # Default imports
use Time::localtime qw(); # Empty import list, so no overrides
my $p_time = localtime(); # calls localtime() imported from POSIX
my $time_object = Time::localtime::localtime();
