This functionalty is taken care of in the Date::Calc module. Date::Calc can do all of your date caclulations without the running your dates through sprintf or worrying about 24 hour formats or worrying about 2/4 digit years.

Else if you really want down to the second comparisions then just use epoch seconds. Epoch seconds are the native format for localtime.

I would highly recommend reading some of these nodes before you post again:

    • Understanding these posts will make your stay at the Monastery more enjoyable.

    Understanding why you should not reinvent good wheels will make your career more enjoyable.
