Clock

Hi,
I would like to set up a script that includes a Windows API interface
of a pop-up that displays a changeable date and time. Whatever date and
time is set, the program will input that data into a time array.
For example, I if I run the program, set today's date and time on the
interface: July 20, 2006 10:40 AM, it will output the result into an
array like this:
@runtime = (0, 40, 10, 20, 6, 2006); ### (seconds, minutes, hours, day,
month (-1), year)
I guess there are two questions involved: how do I call the described
API and how does it get placed into an array for processing? |

You can use a module like Date::Manip to convert the man-readable date
to something your system can understand. Date::Manip can also provide
the info for the array, or you could use Perl's own gmtime/localtime
function (which outputs in array form if called in array context - you
just use a [0-5] slice to get what you want in @runtime).

Win32::GUI is the literal answer to your question. It hides very little
of the Win32 API though, so it may be rather hard to use.
I quite liked Win32::GUI::XMLBuilder when I was playing with it, but I
didn't try to do anything serious.
Tk used to be the standard GUI toolkit for Perl, but it seems to be
looked-down-upon nowadays.
Wx is what most people would recommend now, though as I understand it
the Perl documentation is somewhat poor, and you have to use the C++
docs.

David has given you advice on how to manipulate the date.
I don't quite follow the Windows API requirements, but if you are wanting to
create a message box pop-up on Windows you can do so with the
Win32::MsgBox() function:
use warnings;
use Win32;
my $message = "wow!!";
Win32::MsgBox($message);
__END__
But if you need your perl script to read in the info from a pop-up .... then
that's not so straightforward. If that's the case, let us know, and someone
(probably not me  might be able to help out.
Cheers,
Rob |
