What does that mean 'UTC format' ? Do you mean some ASCII respresentation of the date and time that's UTC based ? If so, what does it look like ? My simple answer is to convert to epoch using Time::Local::timegm and then subtract and format using POSIX::strftime. Depending on what your date format looks like, you may have to use a hash for converting non-numeric months. There are also modules that will do this that you can D/L like Date::Manip and Date::Calc, but I usually avoid them for simple problems. _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
