I have two dates and times I have to compare. I have current_date and requested_date(in the format of mm/dd/yr hr:min:sec). I have to check the difference between the two and do some processing if the time difference is >= 1hr. I was doing it initially with compaing the times but later realized that if requested date is between 23:00 and 24:00 of a day then this condition will nevere be reached. Any other ideas on how can I get the diffrence? 
$cur_time = GetCurrentTime();
 ($cdate, $ctime) = split(/ /, $cur_time);
  ($chour,$cmin,$csec) = split(/:/, $ctime);
$current_time = ($chour*3600) + ($cmin*60) + $csec;
same way for the req time:
$requested_time = ($hour*3600) + ($min*60) + $sec;

if (($current_time - $requested_time) >= 3600
Do processing.....
