Time::...rywhere(3pm)
π Time::y2038::Everywhere β the 3pm manual, but make it cute
okay bestie, so this is a Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and its whole entire personality is: Time::y2038::Everywhere β literally using Time::y2038's gmtime and localtime everywhere. like, everywhere everywhere. no cap. π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
Time::y2038::Everywhere β Use Time::y2038's gmtime and localtime everywhere.
that's it, that's the name, and honestly? it's giving exactly what it says on the tin. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
look at this. look at how short it is. iconic behaviour.
use Time::y2038::Everywhere;
# All uses of localtime() and gmtime() in the whole program
# are now using Time::y2038's
two lines of code and your whole program is different. that's the power. that's the main character energy. β¨
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea, bestie: Time::y2038::Everywhere replaces localtime() and gmtime() with its own functions everywhere. not just in your file. not just in your package. everywhere. π
and the way that this matters? it means your code is 2038 safe β but here's the slay part β not just that your code is 2038 safe. any modules you use are safe too. π«Ά
like, your dependencies don't even know they've been upgraded. they're just out here being 2038 safe and they have no idea. we love a silent glow-up. π
π NOTES π
lowkey a little sneak peek at the future here:
in the future, this thing may also override Time::Local::timelocal and Time::Local::timegm. so like, watch this space, iykyk. π°οΈ
not a promise, bestie β that's literally what it says: may. so don't come for me when it's still a maybe. π
π SEE ALSO π
Time::y2038β the parent module, the blueprint, the moment. go read it. they're a set. π
that's the whole page fr fr. no filler, no fluff, just a tiny module doing massive 2038-safe work and being dramatic about the word "everywhere". π§
anyway β this was documented under the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-19. bye bestie, stay 2038 safe πβ¨
