This ending part does not generate mm:ss results The formatted time only appears in the html file.

My goal, ultimately, is to use this module to generate a shell script to update the contents of my mp3 player that I carry around daily. it is a cheap player that does not implement shuffle, so I must update its contents periodically with new material, and most importantly in a different order.

This code uses your hint as to how to proceed. however, the screen output from printf is just seconds, not hh:mm:ss.

This appears to be a characteristic of the code in the CPAN module, and to change it, I must modify the source.
