All array elements are numeric, and come straight out of a struct tm. In particular this means that C<$mon> has the range C<0..11> and C<$wday> has the range C<0..6> with sunday as day C<0>. Also, C<$year> is the number of years since 1900, that is, C<$year> is C<123> in year 2023, and I<not> simply the last two digits of the year. If you assume it is, then you create non-Y2K-compliant programs--and you wouldn't want to do that, would you?
If EXPR is omitted, uses the current time (C<localtime(time)>).
In scalar context, returns the ctime(3) value:
$now_string = localtime; # e.g., "Thu Oct 13 04:54:34 1994"
This scalar value is B<not> locale dependent, see L<perllocale>, but instead a Perl builtin. Also see the C<Time::Local> module, and the strftime(3) and mktime(3) function available via the POSIX module. To get somewhat similar but locale dependent date strings, set up your locale environment variables appropriately (please see L<perllocale>) and try for example:
