I am trying to find the difference between two dates & need to assign that value in a variable for further code. I am able to find the difference but have some issues with it.
1. Value is coming in decimal point ( 82.95833333333333333333 ) which should be actually 83 days
2. I am able to print the difference with echo command but when I assign it to some variable it fails.
Can someone please take a look at it & help to sort out ? below is the code I am using now :
Code:
If I try to store a value in a variable called Diff="`date -d $expdate +%s` - `date -d $today +%s`)/(24*3600)" |bc -l
it fails.
Hi

Dear all,
I fancy that I'm pretty competent in ksh, but I have someone on HP-UX wanting me to script up a simple interface to handle user alterations rather than giving them high privileges to run up SAM. This is all fairly straightforward, but I'm stuck on an epoch date issue.

I tried the below code to find difference between two dates. It works fine if the day of the month is 2-digit number. But it fails when we have a single-digit day of month(ex:1-9). my code is as below. please help me soon.

Hi Everyone,
We are having an issue with date and date -u in our AIX Systems.
We have checked environment variable TZ and /etc/environment and however, we could not rectify the difference.

devel::refcount
Devel::Refcount(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Devel::Refcount(3pm)NAME
"Devel::Refcount" - obtain the REFCNT value of a referent
SYNOPSIS
use Devel::Refcount qw( refcount );
my $anon = [];
print "Anon ARRAY $anon has " . refcount($anon) . " reference
";
my $otherref = $anon;
print "Anon ARRAY $anon now has " . refcount($anon) . " references
";
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a single function which obtains the reference count of the object being pointed to by the passed reference value.
FUNCTIONS
$count = refcount($ref)
Returns the reference count of the object being pointed to by $ref.
COMPARISON WITH SvREFCNT
This function differs from "Devel::Peek::SvREFCNT" in that SvREFCNT() gives the reference count of the SV object itself that it is passed,
whereas refcount() gives the count of the object being pointed to. This allows it to give the count of any referent (i.e. ARRAY, HASH,
CODE, GLOB and Regexp types) as well.
Consider the following example program:
use Devel::Peek qw( SvREFCNT );
use Devel::Refcount qw( refcount );
sub printcount
{
my $name = shift;
printf "%30s has SvREFCNT=%d, refcount=%d
",
$name, SvREFCNT($_[0]), refcount($_[0]);
}
my $var = [];
printcount 'Initially, $var', $var;
my $othervar = $var;
printcount 'Before CODE ref, $var', $var;
printcount '$othervar', $othervar;
my $code = sub { undef $var };
printcount 'After CODE ref, $var', $var;
printcount '$othervar', $othervar;
This produces the output
Initially, $var has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=1
Before CODE ref, $var has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
$othervar has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
After CODE ref, $var has SvREFCNT=2, refcount=2
$othervar has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
Here, we see that SvREFCNT() counts the number of references to the SV object passed in as the scalar value - the $var or $othervar
respectively, whereas refcount() counts the number of reference values that point to the referent object - the anonymous ARRAY in this
case.
Before the CODE reference is constructed, both $var and $othervar have SvREFCNT() of 1, as they exist only in the current lexical pad. The
anonymous ARRAY has a refcount() of 2, because both $var and $othervar store a reference to it.
After the CODE reference is constructed, the $var variable now has an SvREFCNT() of 2, because it also appears in the lexical pad for the
new anonymous CODE block.
PURE-PERL FALLBACK
An XS implementation of this function is provided, and is used by default. If the XS library cannot be loaded, a fallback implementation in
pure perl using the "B" module is used instead. This will behave identically, but is much slower.
