[editor's note: this commit combines approximate 4 months of furious releases of Andy Dougherty and Larry Wall - see pod/perlhist.pod for details. Andy notes that; Alas neither my "Irwin AccuTrack" nor my DC 600A quarter-inch cartridge backup tapes from that era seem to be readable anymore. I guess 13 years exceeds the shelf life for that backup technology :-(. ]

+# Usage:
+# $time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);
+# $time = timegm($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);
+
+# These routines are quite efficient and yet are always guaranteed to agree
+# with localtime() and gmtime(). We manage this by caching the start times
+# of any months we've seen before. If we know the start time of the month,
+# we can always calculate any time within the month. The start times
+# themselves are guessed by successive approximation starting at the
+# current time, since most dates seen in practice are close to the
+# current date. Unlike algorithms that do a binary search (calling gmtime
+# once for each bit of the time value, resulting in 32 calls), this algorithm
+# calls it at most 6 times, and usually only once or twice. If you hit
+# the month cache, of course, it doesn't call it at all.
+
+# timelocal is implemented using the same cache. We just assume that we're
+# translating a GMT time, and then fudge it when we're done for the timezone
+# and daylight savings arguments. The timezone is determined by examining
+# the result of localtime(0) when the package is initialized. The daylight
+# savings offset is currently assumed to be one hour.
+
+# Both routines return -1 if the integer limit is hit. I.e. for dates
+# after the 1st of January, 2038 on most machines.
