Re: DateCalc using Date::Manip

Does the output you show really belong to the displayed code?

As a side note, you should tell us which versions of Date::Manip you are using.

The delta of the dates is roughly 5 months or 152 days.

6576 hours are roughly 274 days

21 month + 5 days are roughly 645 days.

update

Just realising this delta format has 7 fields, tried to understand the pod and gave up.

update

Aha. .. weeks ?!

Hi, It makes sense to me what you are saying. But i guess i need to display the output in a different format so it caters for the below output `+0:0:+21:5:1:0:0` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

did you try `my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,1);` [download] or maybe these will work `my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,'semi');` [download] or `my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,'approx');` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

did you try my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,1); output is 0:4:4:2:0:0:0 or maybe these will work my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,'semi'); 0:4:4:2:0:0:0 my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,'approx'); 0:4:4:2:0:0:0 I am looking for the output as +0:0:+21:5:1:0:0 I am really sorry this is not my code.I am trying the fix old code after the version updates. Many Thanks,	[reply]

You haven't answered my questions. A) correct output? B) Version numbers > so it caters for the below output Do you even know what it means? Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]

To add to my previous reply regarding the correct output as on the old server with old version of Datemanip is +0:0:+21:5:1:0:0 With the new server and new version of Date Manip(6.14) The output which i get is below the code that i use on the new server is `my $s1="2016040100:00:00"; my $e1="2016123100:00:00"; $dbyx1 =(DateCalc($s1, $e1)); $dbyx1 = Delta_Format($dbyx1,'0','+%yv:%Mv:+%wv:%dv:%hv:%mv:%sv'); print "\ndbyx1 = $dbyx1\n";` [download] Output +0:0:+0:0:3648:0:0 I hope i am being clear.
