NAME

    POSIX::strftime::GNU - strftime with GNU extensions

SYNOPSIS

      use POSIX::strftime::GNU;

      use POSIX 'strftime';

      print POSIX::strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %T %z', localtime);

    command line:

      C:\> set PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=filter=debug

      C:\> perl -MPOSIX::strftime::GNU -MAnyEvent -e "AE::cv->send"

DESCRIPTION

    This is a wrapper for POSIX::strftime which implements more character

    sequences compatible with GNU systems.

    The module is 100% compatible with format of date(1) command from GNU

    coreutils package.

    It can be helpful if you run some software on operating system where

    these extensions, especially %z sequence, are not supported, i.e. on

    Microsoft Windows. On such system some software can work incorrectly,

    i.e. logging for Plack and AnyEvent modules might be broken.

    Even GNU C Library's strftime(3) function does not provide 100%

    compatibility with date(1) command so this module can be useful also on

    Linux.

    The XS module is used if compiler is available and can module can be

    loaded. The XS is mandatory if PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_XS environment

    variable is true.

    The PP module is used when XS module can not be loaded or

    PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_PP environment variable is true.

    None of these modules are loaded if both PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_PP and

    PERL_POSIX_STRFTIME_GNU_XS environment variables are defined and false.

INSTALLING

 Cygwin

    This module requires libcrypt-devel package.

BUGS

    Timezone name is guessed with several heuristics so it can differ from

    timezone name returned by date(1) command.
