Hello All, I am getting lots of rows from a database where the time stamp has to be evaluated. I set an off set of 12:00am, so every entry before 12:00 is stays, every date which is after 12:00 is beeing put forward by 24hours. That way I report from 12:00am to 12:00am rather that 0:00 to 0:00. Iam using Date::Manip but is is just a bit slow and I was wondering if there a faster / simpler way. 
while (@row = $sth->fetchrow_array ){
        ($host,$pol,$sched,$date,$target,$error)=@row[0,1,2,3,4,5];

        $cutover=(split /:/,$time)[0];
        if ($date=~/\s(\d{2})/){
            $hour=$1;
        }

        #print "========= CUTOVER: $cutover DATE: $date HOUR: $hour ==
+======\n";
        
        if ($hour > $cutover){
            ## 12 hours are added to push the backup into the new repo
+rting window (next day)
            $date=DateCalc("$date","+24 hours"); ###Takes 2min out of 
+2:30min.
            $date=&UnixDate($date,"%Y-%m-%d");
            #print" This backup has moved to the next day: $date\n";
        }else{
            $date=(split /\s/,$date)[0];

            #print" This backup has stayed: $date\n";
        }


        if (defined ${$report{$host}{$pol}{$sched}{$date}}){
            ${$report{$host}{$pol}{$sched}{$date}}=${$report{$host}{$p
+ol}{$sched}{$date}}+$error;
        }else{
            ${$report{$host}{$pol}{$sched}{$date}}=$error;
        }
    }
}
