If you care about things like daylight savings time adjustments, calendar changes, or leap seconds, the answer requires considerably more thought (use DateTime and do only one arithmetic operation to adjust the time). People who spend much time learning about time peculiarities tend to think of those considerations constantly. They only matter to you if you don't want to accidentally generate a time that didn't exist in your locale, e.g. 2am on a day that the clocks advanced. -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.perldebugged.com/ http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0137001274 http://www.oreillyschool.com/courses/perl3/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
