Perl ::duration of time in between dates
Hello All,

I have two strings with date and time as follows..

Code:
$starttime= "06/11/2013 ";
$starttime= "05:15";
$enddate="06/12/2013";
$endtime="04:45";

dates are in mm/dd/yyyy format and time in military format.
and I am looking the duration of time(in minutes) in between dates.

Could anyone please let me know the logic behind this?

Thanks in advance....

Probably split dd, mm, yyyy, hr,min,sec and use DateTime module to get the difference in duration.

DateTime - search.cpan.org

Thanks

Code:
startdate="06/11/2013"
starttime="05:15"
enddate="06/12/2013"
endtime="04:45"

Code:
echo $((($(date -d "$enddate $endtime" +%s) - $(date -d "$startdate $starttime" +%s))/60))
1410

The standard Time::Local module is sufficient for your purpose.
Look at its man page for details.
