Conflict with Time::Local and Time::localtime

[Michael Barto]

I have a Perl program that gets the date of a file using 'ctime' from "use Time::localtime;" But this program must also convert an Epoch time to a date and time using 'localtime' from "use Time::Local;". The problem is it appears that only one of these modules can be used in a single program. Not both since a localtime subroutine exist as the same name in both modules.  How can I support using both modules in the same program?. Here are the snippits: #!/usr/bin/perl use Time:localtime; use Time:Local; #needs Time::Local........ sub convertEPOCHtime ($) {     my $time = $_[0];     my ($seconds, $minutes, $hours, $day_of_month, $month, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) = localtime ($time);     $year += 1900;     my @themonths = ("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec");     my @weekdays = ("xxx", "Sat", "Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thr", "Fri", );     if ($hours < 10) {         $hours = '0' . "$hours";     }     my $datestring = "$weekdays[$wday] $themonths[$month] $day_of_month ${hours}:${minutes} $year";     return ($datestring); } # needs Time::localtime........ sub FILEdate ($) {     my $filename = $_[0];     my $as_of_date = ctime(stat("$filename")->mtime);     return ($as_of_date); } -- Michael Barto Software Architect LogiQwest Inc. 16458 Bolsa Chica Street, # 15 Huntington Beach, CA  92649 http://www.logiqwest.com/     [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel:  714 377 3705 Fax: 714 840 3937 Cell: 714 883 1949 'tis a gift to be simple This e-mail may contain LogiQwest proprietary information and should be treated as confidential.
