Hello Monks!

Please help me to add knowledge to my brain.

Given following snippet:

use Time::Local;

$from_year = $from_year - 1900;
$from_month = $from_month - 1;
$from = timelocal(0,0,0,$from_day,$from_month,$from_year);

$to_year = $to_year - 1900;
$to_month = $to_month - 1;
$to = timelocal(0,0,0,$to_day,$to_month,$to_year);

$days_between = ( ($to - $from) / (60 * 60 * 24) );

Now I use this values for input....

$from_day = 2;
$from_month = 2;
$from_year = 2002;

$to_day = 5;
$to_month = 2;
$to_year = 2002;

[download]

.....and get the right result: $days_between = 3

But now to my confusion: I use this values......

$from_day = 2;
$from_month = 2;
$from_year = 2002;

$to_day = 2;
$to_month = 5;
$to_year = 2002;

[download]

....the result ist not even: $days_between = 88.95...

Who can enlighten me?

Thanks for your experience-sharing!

Georg
