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.

    Cheers - L~R
