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. -- #!/usr/bin/perl -T use strict; use warnings; print q{Mark Fowler, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://twoshortplanks.com/};
