Duration or elapsed time in days?

2010-09-02 Thread Gabor Szabo 
Hi,

I am probably missing something obvious but I could not yet figure out how can I
get the "number of days" between two DateTime objects.
So far the best I managed was

$d1 = DateTime->new(...);
$d2 = DateTime->new(...);

my $sec = $d2->subtract_datetime_absolute($d1)->seconds;
print $sec/60/60/24, "\n";

Is there a nicer way that does not require me to remember
how many minutes are in an hour?
