in reply to Descriptive Relative Time

tomazos,
I don't know of a module that does exactly what you want, but it would likely be in the Date:: family. Here are some ideas that do something similar to what you want but would need some tailoring to suit your specific needs.

    Time::Duration is probably the right one. It converts seconds into an English equivalent (e.g. "20 days, 4 hours, 13 minutes, and 25 seconds ago") with support for truncating to an approximation (e.g. "20 days, 4 hours ago").

      xdg,
      As does my RFC: Seconds2English. It won't however give you a response like 'yesterday' and 'last month'. That is why I said any solution is likely going to need to be tweaked for the specific responses.
