time functions

[Richard Kelly]

Hello,   I tried sending this email last week but I don’t believe it got to the list.    I have looked through the archives but I have not been able to find a reference to any perl functions that perform the equivalent of f$cvtime and f$delta_time.    Another issue I will probably encounter in the future is accessing DCL symbols, logical names, and lexicals ( I have seen some discussion of lexicals but I have not seen a conclusion).   I am actually trying to build a report generator that reads the .CSV formatted files from ECP but I am not sure if there is an easy way to convert the date/time fields into weekday, month etc.   Thanks
