in thread DateCalc using Date::Manip

Hello, Thank you for the reply. I have tried the code as you suggested. Below is my modification to the code 
        my $s2="2016080100:00:00";
        my $e1="2016123100:00:00";
        
         my $format = '%dh %hd %hh %ht %yd';

        $duyx1 =(DateCalc($s2,$e1));
        $duyx1 = Delta_Format($duyx1,'2',$format);
        print "\nduyx1 = $duyx1\n";

    Note that your output string contains seven fields and colons between its values.

    Your $format string contains five placeholders and no colons between them.

    If you want identical values, a first step would be to specify the appropriate output format.

    Also, I think the %dh format is not a valid format specification for Date::Manip::DM5.
