Hello All,
I sorry to be asking this but i have wasted lots of time
Trying to do this alone. I have gone over and over the examples on the Date & Time questions but I think I’m
Missing the point some ware

When using the below code its fine until i try and find the time difference between the minutes.

I’m running this on activestate perl. which gives the error of

Can't locate object method "min" via package "Time::Seconds" (perhaps to load "Time::Seconds"?) at
C:\Inetpub\GMN542\timetest.pl line 19.

Normally if i had this error on Unix i guess the perl module
was not installed but i have looked on my windows box and I found that I do have

C:\Perl\site\lib\Time\Piece.pm
and
C:\Perl\site\lib\Time\Seconds.pm
So is this just an error with the way im trying to query the
minute strings?

I guess the question is have I got a problem with my installation of the perl modules?
Or
Is it due to the wrong variable name used for minute? I think I have tried “minute” and “min”.

Again as ever any help that anybody can offer is more then appreciated

regards
Gareth

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Time::Piece;
use Time::Seconds;

$before = Time::Piece->strptime("2003/04/30 10:00:00", "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M
+:%S");
$now = localtime(time);

$diff = $now - $before;

$years  = int($diff->years);
$diff  -= $years * ONE_YEAR;
$months = int($diff->months);
$diff  -= $months * ONE_MONTH;
$days   = int($diff->days);
$diff  -= $hours * ONE_HOUR;
$hours  = int($diff->hours);
$diff  -= $min * ONE_MIN;
$min   = int($diff->min);

print "$years years, $months months, $days days since , $hours hours s
+ince, $min min since $before\n";
