NAME Time::UTC - manipulation of UTC in terms of TAI DESCRIPTION This module encapsulates knowledge about the structure of the UTC time scale, including the leap seconds of the current incarnation. This information is useful in manipulating times stored in a UTC-based format, or in converting between UTC and TAI (the underlying atomic time scale). It automatically downloads new UTC data as required to keep up to date. This is a low-level module, intended for use by other modules that need to know about UTC. This module aims to be comprehensive and rigorous.
