Re: Comparing two dates and getting back difference in days

Date_Cmp just returns if $date1 is smaller than, equal to, or greater than $date2, like the Perl cmp operator.

What you want to do can be done with the DateCalc function. See the documentation of Date::Manip for details.

The Date::Calc module is implemented mostly in C and should be a lot faster.

Ok, I'm looking at DateCalc but I can't seem to figure out how to get the output in just days. I'm getting output that looks like this: `2004-01-14 2004-01-21 +0:0:1:0:0:0:0` [download] Do I have to do my own conversion to just days ? Also, I could seem to figure out what the $err was supposed to be.	[reply] [d/l]
