>Description:
Perl's POSIX module is a wrapper for common POSIX routines... one of the functions in this module is strftime.
It works as expected, unless you make use of the %Z spec (returns ???).
Making use of strftime via a c program results in correct behavior (returns PDT).
>How-To-Repeat:
Perl script:
perl -MPOSIX -e 'print(strftime("%Z", (localtime)), "\n");'
# prints "???"
C script:
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char buff[4];
time_t now = time(NULL);
strftime(buff, sizeof(buff), "%Z", localtime(&now) );
printf("%s\n", buff);
return;
}
// prints 'PDT'
