I think your code is working fine. In between the two calls to getMeanTime() add a sleep(2); in there and you will find that you will get a difference in seconds instead of no difference at all.That is:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Date::Calc qw(Delta_YMDHMS);

my ($day1,$month1,$year1,$hour1,$min1,$sec1) = &getMeanTime;
sleep(2);
my ($day2,$month2,$year2,$hour2,$min2,$sec2) = &getMeanTime;

my ($D_y,$D_m,$D_d, $Dh,$Dm,$Ds) = Delta_YMDHMS(
             $year1,$month1,$day1, $hour1,$min1,$sec1,  
             $year2,$month2,$day2, $hour2,$min2,$sec2);

print sprintf("%02d", $D_d).'/'
    . sprintf("%02d", $D_m).'/'
    . sprintf("%04d", $D_y).' '
    . sprintf("%02d", $Dh) . ':'
    . sprintf("%02d", $Dm) . ':'
    . sprintf("%02d", $Ds);

sub getMeanTime {
  my $time = time;

  my ($Second, $Minute, $Hour, $Day, $Month, $Year, $WeekDay, $DayOfYe
+ar, $IsDST) = gmtime($time);

  $Year+=1900; $Month+=1;
  return $Day,$Month,$Year,$Hour,$Minute,$Second;
} #getMeanTime

__END__
