hello all
Hello,
i am wondering a there is a module that do comparisons between two different datetime stamps
for example
2/4/2005:15:20:20 and 4/4/2005:12:09:23
which date is bigger (namely earliest)
Probably the easiest way is to convert them to comparable strings:
my ( $date1, $date2 ) = ( '2/4/2005:15:20:20', '4/4/2005:12:09:23' );
# I assume the date is m/d/y:h:m:s?
my $cmp1 = sprintf '%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d', ( $date1 =~ /\d+/g )[ 2,0,1,3,4,5 ];
my $cmp2 = sprintf '%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d', ( $date2 =~ /\d+/g )[ 2,0,1,3,4,5 ];
if ( $cmp1 gt $cmp2 ) {
do_something();
