Re: getting the elapsed time

NOTE: I obviously misread when I posted...he/she said time when I though he/she meant date. I hope the modules I posted below help or just /msg me and tell me then reap this node

As a matter of fact, there is a better way.

With a really quick search through the CPAN I came up with these two, very efficient and optionful, modules.Some people might say that these are clunky and slow...I'll leave that to your own judgement

Date::Manip
Date::Calc
Benchmark

Hope that helps you. Also, you can get various formats in these modules (eg. 2/24/01 and so on) so you don't have to stick with that ugly one :)
