=head1 NAME
Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);
print inet_time(); # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_time('localhost');
print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');
print inet_daytime(); # use default host from Net::Config
print inet_daytime('localhost');
print inet_daytime('localhost', 'tcp');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Net::Time> provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.
=over 4
=item inet_time ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
Obtain the time on C<HOST>, or some default host if C<HOST> is not given
or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The optional
argument C<PROTOCOL> should define the protocol to use, either C<tcp> or
C<udp>. The result will be a time value in the same units as returned
by time() or I<undef> upon failure.
=item inet_daytime ( [HOST [, PROTOCOL [, TIMEOUT]]])
Obtain the time on C<HOST>, or some default host if C<HOST> is not given
or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The optional
argument C<PROTOCOL> should define the protocol to use, either C<tcp> or
C<udp>. The result will be an ASCII string or I<undef> upon failure.
