new Quandries();
I’ve been writing things in PHP for the past 8 weeks that it isn’t really meant for or to do. To whit:- daemonised processes;
- shared memory based methods and usage (mainly around SysV semaphores and segments);
- cron extensions and handlers;
- network connections via SNMP and SNPP; and
- lots of file system methods (globbing, file management and organisation),

Happy CSS Naked Day!
It’s that time again. Thanks to the W3C for making this all possible! (Special thanks to Dustin Diaz for the original idea.)April 5th, 2009
CSS Naked Day
With CSS Naked Day fast approaching, I thought I’d add to the code snippets posted by Dustin Diaz with a quick bit of Perl, based on his PHP example. Without further ado, here is the snippet:
use Time:Local;
sub _is_naked_day() {
my ($start, $end, $now, $d);
$d = shift;
$start = timelocal(0, 0, 0, $d, 3, ((localtime)[5]));
$end = timelocal(59, 59, 23, $d, 3, ((localtime)[5]));
$now = time();
if ( $now >= $start && $now < = $end ) return(1);
else return(0);
}
This subroutine could then be used to display template content like so: unless ( (&_is_naked_day(9)) ) print qq^<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/path/to/styles.css" />^;Caveats: I haven’t accounted for time zone differences, the concept of an international day (taking a 12 hour slice on either side of GMT) and the JSON config file that Dustin provided in 2008 (which I just found). I’ll write a Perl module to handle this all in a more usable fashion and post it up after work later today.
