use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);

Net::Time provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote machine.
HOST, or some default host if HOST is not given
or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The optional
argument PROTOCOL should define the protocol to use, either tcp or
udp. The result will be a time value in the same units as returned
by time() or undef upon failure.
HOST, or some default host if HOST is not given
or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The optional
argument PROTOCOL should define the protocol to use, either tcp or
udp. The result will be an ASCII string or undef upon failure.
