CUSTOMIZATION

Configuration Variables

@monthname, @monthabbr, @downame, and @dowabbr
contain the long and short forms of the months and says of the week.

$epoch
holds the Julian day number that corresponds to the zero point of your system's time() implementation. On (most?) Unix systems, including MacOS X, this is 12:00:00 1/1/1970; on MacOS classic it is 1/1/1904, which would be 2416480.5 . Check your system's implementation. If your system's perl port has a different date, http://fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/ has a converter.

If you'd like the modified Julian day, you can set $epoch to 40587.

$precision
sets the number of decimal digits to display in $timestamp::jdn .

CSS classes

timestamp-stamp
The timestamp

timestamp-jdn
The JDN number

Flavour-style files

The format of the timestamp may be overridden by creating a file (similar to Blosxom's flavour files) called timestamp.stamp.flavour . See the __DATA__ section for the default. Only timestamp-specific variables will work. The variables attempt to mimic blosxom's variables for date.flavour :

$hr
$hr12
$hr24
zero-padded

$ampm
$min
zero-padded

$sec
zero-padded

$ampm
in caps

$da
$day
zero-padded

$mo
short name

$month
long name

$mo_num
number

$mon
zero-padded

$yr
four digits

$yr2
two digits

$dw
short day of week

$weekday
long day of week
