You mean, it deals with a... duration?

Ah, so you reinvented DateTime::Format::Duration.
use DateTime::Format::Duration;
my $fmt = DateTime::Format::Duration->new(
pattern => '%H hours, %M minutes, %S seconds',
normalize => 1,
);
print $fmt->format_duration_from_deltas(
seconds => 7341,
), "\n";

I haven't done this before either. It took me about 10 minutes of
research on CPAN. Maybe my advantage was that I knew about the
DateTime project which set out to solve the issue of using Perl
for date and time math Once And For All.
