Well, if you just want the _date_, it's pretty easy. my $dur = $dt1->delta_days($dt2); # or use Math::Round if you want my $mid = $dt1->add( days => int( $dur->delta_days / 2 ) ); If you want to account for the time then it gets funkier. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
