imho Date::Manip by Sullivan Beck has all you need.

here is how you would do it there:

my $scs = shift;
my $dlt = ParseDateDelta($scs . " seconds");
$nlt = Delta_Format($dlt,0,"%dv days,%hv hours,%mv mins & %sv secs");
print "$scs = $nlt\n";

i think it is fair to say that Date::Manip is the most complete of the date modules, and can do all sorts of conversions for you (including adding business time secs). it compiles from the box on win32 or unix. it's downside: a trifle slow.

hope that helps,
