asctime

Canonical English timestamp string from a broken-down time.

Synopsis

use POSIX qw(asctime);
my @tm = localtime;
print asctime(@tm);   # "Wed Apr 22 14:30:00 2026\n"

What you get back

A 25-byte string including the trailing newline, or undef if nine arguments are not supplied.

Differences from upstream

Fully compatible with upstream POSIX. The trailing newline is preserved as-is; do not assume this function trims it.
