Hi Robert,

When a ticket is created I want to include a statement in the e-mail to the requestor that the ticket should be closed in 5 business days, and if they haven't heard back from us by then to call us. I'm using Business::Hours to compute "then" and have basically copied the example from the wiki. The problem I'm having is that the "add_seconds" method is returning -1, which the docs seem to say means that the result is more than 30 days in the future.

Here's my code:

  my $days = 5;
  my $seconds = $days * 8.5 * 60 * 60;
  $RT::Logger->debug("$MyName: days: $days, seconds: $seconds");
  my $hours = Business::Hours->new();
  $hours->business_hours(
    { 0 => { Name => 'Sunday', Start => undef, End => undef },
      1 => { Name => 'Monday', Start => '08:00', End => '16:30' },
      2 => { Name => 'Tuesday', Start => '08:00', End => '16:30' },
      3 => { Name => 'Wednesday', Start => '08:00', End => '16:30' },
      4 => { Name => 'Thursday', Start => '15:00', End => '23:30' },
      5 => { Name => 'Friday', Start => '15:00', End => '23:30' },
      6 => { Name => 'Saturday', Start => undef, End => undef }
    } );
  my $curtime = time;
  my $duetime = $hours->add_seconds ($curtime, $seconds);
  $RT::Logger->debug("$MyName: curtime: $curtime, duetime: $duetime");

And here's what I'm seeing in my logs:

[Wed Apr 25 20:05:00 2007] [debug]: Scrip DNS:35:Commit (New Ticket): days: 5, seconds: 153000 ((eval 362):30) [Wed Apr 25 20:05:00 2007] [debug]: Scrip DNS:35:Commit (New Ticket): curtime: 1177531500, duetime: -1 ((eval 362):43)

I expect the $duetime result to be ($curtime + 5 business days), or exactly 1 real week from $curtime. Any thoughts on where I should start looking?

Thanks,
Gene

Yeah, I use the Business:Hours in a medium complex setting, what is your
question (I'd rather keep it on the list so if anyone else has the
same/similar question it'll get answered here)
