.SH NAME
POSIX::strptime \- Perl extension to the POSIX date parsing strptime(3) function
.SH SYNOPSIS

\& ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) = POSIX::strptime("string", "Format");

.Vb 1
\& ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday) = POSIX::strptime(string, format);
.Ve
.Sp
The result for any value not extracted is not defined. Some platforms may
reliably return \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR, but this is dependent on the \f(CWstrptime(3)\fR function
in the underlying C library.
.Sp
For example, only the following fields may be relied upon:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& my ($min, $hour) = ( POSIX::strptime( "01:23", \*(Aq%H:%M\*(Aq ) )[1,2];
\& 
\& my ($mday, $mon, $year) = ( POSIX::strptime( "2010/07/16", \*(Aq%Y/%m/%d\*(Aq ) )[3,4,5];
.Ve
.Sp
Furthermore, not all platforms will set the \f(CW$wday\fR and \f(CW$yday\fR elements. If
these values are required, use \f(CW\*(C`mktime\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`gmtime\*(C'\fR:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& use POSIX qw( mktime );
\& use POSIX::strptime qw( strptime );
\&
\& my ($mday, $mon, $year) = ( POSIX::strptime( "2010/07/16", \*(Aq%Y/%m/%d\*(Aq ) )[3,4,5];
\& my $wday = ( gmtime mktime 0, 0, 0, $mday, $mon, $year )[6];
