Difference in day-hours-minutes-seconds format
Hi experts,
I am reading two log files and passing dates as output to a txt file.
Code is given below:
echo "Start Time:" >> Report.txt
cat start.log | while read LINE1
do
echo $DATE1 >> Report.txt
done
echo "End Time:" >> Report.txt
cat end.log | while read LINE2
do
echo $DATE2 >> Report.txt
done
The out put:
Start Time:
Tue, Feb 19, 2008 08:00:02 PM
End Time:
Wed, Feb 20, 2008 02:19:09 AM
Now I want to print the overall time difference between the first output (ie $LINE1) and second output (ie $LINE2)in day-hours-minutes-seconds format.
I read the FAQs on subtracting dates, but couldnt find a method to subtract two dates in the above format.
Thanks in advance.

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.
