in reply to question about unix timestamps (epoch)

Choose one of these:
my $_timestamp1 = '1189669351'; my $_timestamp2 = '1189355751'; printf "rounded: %.0f\n",($_timestamp1 - $_timestamp2) / 86400; print "truncated: ",int( ($_timestamp1 - $_timestamp2) / 86400),"\n"; print "float: ",(($_timestamp1 - $_timestamp2) / 86400),"\n"; __END__ rounded: 4 truncated: 3 float: 3.62962962962963

I think using a module for such a simple operation is a bit overkill, but that's just me.

--shmem
