I have posted before....but i'm still working on this.

$row3 is start minute
$row5 is end minute

All i need to do is round the minutes for each
Join the start hour to the start minute and
the end hour to the end minute. then subtract the end time
from the start time to get a total elapsed time (rounded of course)
I just can't seem to get a total. 
################  BEGIN TIME TOTALING SUBROUTINE

sub calc_total{

# HAVE TO CONVERT TIME INPUT

if ($row[3] >= 52.5) {$start_minute = 1.0 ;}
elsif ($row[3] >= 37.5) {$start_minute = .75 ;}
elsif ($row[3] >= 22.5) {$start_minute = .5 ;}
elsif ($row[3] >= 7.5) {$start_minute = .25 ;}
else {$row[3] = .0 ;}

if ($row[5] >= 52.5) {$end_minute = 1.0 ;}
elsif ($row[5] >= 37.5) {$end_minute = .75 ;}
elsif ($row[5] >= 22.5) {$end_minute = .5 ;}
elsif ($row[5] >= 7.5) {$end_minute = .25 ;}
else {$row[5] = .0 ;}

$start_total = $row[2] + $start_minute;
$end_total = $row[4] + end_minute;

$total_time = $end_total - $start_total;

}
