I was down this road some time ago myself - definitely DateTime by Dave Rolsky. While it is not the most compact and not the fastest solution it has it all. Saved me way too many time from reinventing the wheel. On the other hand if your application is rather small and is guaranteed to stay small (which is usually not the case) you might look into other possibilities like simple numerical acrobatics with Time::Local (e.g. converting everything to epoch seconds and working from there). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
