In perl you can use somethin like this:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Time::Piece;
use POSIX qw(strftime);

$before = Time::Piece->strptime("12/01/2010:05:40:00 AM", "%d/%m/%Y:%I:%M:%S %p"); 
$after  = Time::Piece->strptime("12/01/2010:06:00:00 PM", "%d/%m/%Y:%I:%M:%S %p");
$secdiff = $after - $before;
print  strftime( '%d %H:%M:%S', gmtime(int($secdiff)))."\n";;
