  Description     : Versions of Perl's time functions which work beyond 2038

On many computers, Perl's time functions will not work past the
year 2038. This is a design fault in the underlying C libraries Perl
uses. Time::y2038 provides replacements for those functions which will
work accurately +/1 142 million years.
