.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::Time\*(C'\fR provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.
.IP "inet_time ( [\s-1HOST\s0 [, \s-1PROTOCOL\s0 [, \s-1TIMEOUT\s0]]])" 4
.IX Item "inet_time ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])"
Obtain the time on \f(CW\*(C`HOST\*(C'\fR, or some default host if \f(CW\*(C`HOST\*(C'\fR is not given
or not defined, using the protocol as defined in \s-1RFC868.\s0 The optional
argument \f(CW\*(C`PROTOCOL\*(C'\fR should define the protocol to use, either \f(CW\*(C`tcp\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`udp\*(C'\fR. The result will be a time value in the same units as returned
by \fBtime()\fR or \fIundef\fR upon failure.
.IP "inet_daytime ( [\s-1HOST\s0 [, \s-1PROTOCOL\s0 [, \s-1TIMEOUT\s0]]])" 4
.IX Item "inet_daytime ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])"
Obtain the time on \f(CW\*(C`HOST\*(C'\fR, or some default host if \f(CW\*(C`HOST\*(C'\fR is not given
or not defined, using the protocol as defined in \s-1RFC867.\s0 The optional
argument \f(CW\*(C`PROTOCOL\*(C'\fR should define the protocol to use, either \f(CW\*(C`tcp\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`udp\*(C'\fR. The result will be an \s-1ASCII\s0 string or \fIundef\fR upon failure.
