[rrd-users] Re: newbie help please - RRDTOOL GPRINT/LTIME (using Perl module)

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Sir,

I hope I have understood you correctly but I think you have done all the
hard stuff already (and I thank you for it because I am using rrdcgi at
the moment and you have provided a wonderful example of doing the same
thing with RRDs::graph that I can use with CGI.pm [in this case to have
a fill out form to get the start and end dates]).

Perhaps I haven't understood your question but if you only want the 
start and end dates in a consistent format (struct tm or time_t or 
localtime format) all I think you need do is

1 Use RRDs::fetch to get the start and end data

2 use Perls localtime function in a scalar context on the first element 
of the array ref that fetch returns

somthing like

(undef, undef, $data) = RRDs::fetch(<your_rrd>, <your_CF>, '--start',
<your_start>, '--end', <your_start> + step>) ;

$my_start = localtime($data->[0]) ;

Yours sincerely.
