in thread split function

Thank you, is there a way of substracting 20 minutes from currentt time. I need to convert tht time format into like 01/26/2011 03:29:00 and pass to the database api but I need to substract 20 minutes from the current time and submit the date in that format.

    use DateTime qw( );

my $dt = DateTime->now( time_zone => 'local' );
$dt->subtract( minutes => 20 );

print($dt->strftime("%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S"), "\n");
