how can I eassily increment hh:mm:ss by a specified number of seconds? at the moment my script converts hh:mm:ss to seconds then adds seconds on then convert back to hh:mm:ss format. I can't help thinking there is a much better way of doind this. 
$current_time="00:02:25";
@stime = split(/:/, $current_time);
$current_time_more10s = 3600*$stime[0] + 60*$stime[1] + $stime[2];
$current_time_more10s=$current_time_more10s+10;
$hours=($current_time_more10s/(60*60))%24;if($hours<10){$hours="0$hour
+s";}
$mins=($current_time_more10s/60)%60;if($mins<10){$mins="0$mins";}
$secs=$current_time_more10s%60;if($secs<10){$secs="0$secs";}
$newtime="$hours:$mins:$secs";
print $newtime;
