perl function time

The time function in Perl returns the number of non-leap seconds since January 1, 1970, also known as the Unix epoch. It's often used for date and time calculations.

Here's an example:

my $now = time;
print "The current timestamp is $now\n";

Output:

The current timestamp is 1646347126

In this example, we're assigning the current Unix timestamp to the variable $now using the time function. We're then printing out the value of the variable using print. The value of the timestamp will vary depending on the current time.
