NAME

Date::Leapsecond - DEPRECATED: use ``DateTime'' distribution instead

SYNOPSIS

  use Date::Leapsecond;
  use Time::Local;
  $epoch_2000 = timegm(0,0,0,1,0,2000 - 1900);
  $epoch_1990 = timegm(0,0,0,1,0,1990 - 1900);
  print "Seconds between years 1990 and 2000 are ";
  print Date::Leapsecond::ut1($epoch_2000) -
        Date::Leapsecond::ut1($epoch_1990);
  print " instead of ";
  print $epoch_2000 -
        $epoch_1990;

DESCRIPTION

Use UT1 timescale to calculate precise time differences.

This library uses 1 second precision and is known accurate for dates from 1970-01-01 until 2002-12-31.

ut1

Returns the value of UT1 epoch, for a given UTC epoch.

UTC epoch is got from Time::Local
