DateTim...pSecond(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the DateTim...pSecond(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation 💖. The module is DateTime::LeapSecond — it's your leap seconds table and utilities era, and honestly it's giving niche-but-iconic.

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 1.65 — that's the version, bestie, write it down.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

copy-paste this exactly, no cap:

        use DateTime;
        use DateTime::LeapSecond;

        print "Leap seconds between years 1990 and 2000 are ";
        print DateTime::Leapsecond::leap_seconds($utc_rd_2000)
            - DateTime::Leapsecond::leap_seconds($utc_rd_1990);

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so basically this module is used to calculate leap seconds for a given Rata Die day. It's the fallback bestie that gets used when DateTime cannot compile the XS version of this code ✨.

This library is known to be accurate for dates until Jun 2020 — yes, Jun 2020, put it in your calendar and respect it 😭.

And ngl, there are no leap seconds before 1972, because that's the year this system was implemented. Periodt.

• leap_seconds($rd) — Returns the number of accumulated leap seconds for a given day. That's the accumulated count, okay? 💅
• extra_seconds($rd) — Returns the number of leap seconds for a given day, in the range -2 .. 2. Tiny range, big main character energy.
• day_length($rd) — Returns the number of seconds for a given day, in the range 86398 .. 86402. So not always a clean 86400, and that's the tea 🍓.
