in reply to Re^3: DateCalc using Date::Manip
in thread DateCalc using Date::Manip

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,

      I do not get any output for that one.

        ok a few more, since "semi and 'approx' gave the same output 

        my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,0);

        [download]
        my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,1);

        [download]
        my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,2);

        [download]
        my $dtopt= DateCalc($dt1,$dt2,3);

        [download]
        note how #4 is like Re^4: DateCalc using Date::Manip and if it works they should get the credit. We have seen exact=0 and approx=1 (or literal?), lets see what 2 or 3 give us. (maybe i should install the module and try it? im going from the docs here)
