localtime
localtime - convert UNIX time into record or string using local time
localtime EXPR
Converts a time as returned by the time function to a 9-element array
with the time analyzed for the local timezone. Typically used as
follows:
<![CDATA[
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
localtime(time);
]]>
All array elements are numeric, and come straight out of a struct tm.
In particular this means that $mon has the range 0..11 and $wday has
the range 0..6. If EXPR is omitted, does localtime(time).
In a scalar context, prints out the ctime(3) value:
<![CDATA[
$now_string = localtime; # e.g. "Thu Oct 13 04:54:34 1994"
]]>

via the POSIX modulie.
