The problem is I'd like to be able to get the number of seconds a duration
represents when it's not an abstract duration, i.e. when the length of all
the days was originally known.

  use DateTime;

  my $london_pm_social = DateTime->new(
    hour  => 19,
    day   => 4,
    month => 3,
    year  => 2004,
  );

  my $now = DateTime->now();

  my $diff = $social-$now;
  print $diff->total_seconds;  # or some other method name

Mark.
