I think function's in bash doesn't accept any variables.
Incorrect, they take parameters just fine.
You call them directly, outside [ ], like you would an external program.
And your function should use return to give an integer value that if can use in this manner. It's like exit but only quits a function or sourced script instead of the entire program. Zero means success, nonzero means failure, just like the exit status of an external utility. Your EC variable trick works but such indirectness isn't necessary.

time::seconds
Time::Seconds(3perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Time::Seconds(3perl)NAME
Time::Seconds - a simple API to convert seconds to other date values
SYNOPSIS
use Time::Piece;
use Time::Seconds;
my $t = localtime;
$t += ONE_DAY;
my $t2 = localtime;
my $s = $t - $t2;
print "Difference is: ", $s->days, "
";
DESCRIPTION
This module is part of the Time::Piece distribution. It allows the user to find out the number of minutes, hours, days, weeks or years in a
given number of seconds. It is returned by Time::Piece when you delta two Time::Piece objects.
Time::Seconds also exports the following constants:
ONE_DAY
ONE_WEEK
ONE_HOUR
ONE_MINUTE
ONE_MONTH
ONE_YEAR
ONE_FINANCIAL_MONTH
LEAP_YEAR
NON_LEAP_YEAR
Since perl does not (yet?) support constant objects, these constants are in seconds only, so you cannot, for example, do this: "print
ONE_WEEK->minutes;"
METHODS
The following methods are available:
my $val = Time::Seconds->new(SECONDS)
$val->seconds;
$val->minutes;
$val->hours;
$val->days;
$val->weeks;
$val->months;
$val->financial_months; # 30 days
$val->years;
$val->pretty; # gives English representation of the delta
The usual arithmetic (+,-,+=,-=) is also available on the objects.
The methods make the assumption that there are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 365.24225 days in a year and 12 months in a year.

Bugs
Currently the methods aren't as efficient as they could be, for reasons of clarity. This is probably a bad idea.
