Postings from January 2002
From windows, but just using std Perl functions:
use Time::Local;
my $MyKnownDate = timelocal(0,0,17,18,0,102);
printf "%-s\n", scalar(localtime($MyKnownDate)); # just reprinting so you know we are using the # right date
my $MyCurrTime = time; # Current time
my $MySecondsElapsed = $MyCurrTime - $MyKnownDate; # get seconds between now and then
my $MyMinutes = $MySecondsElapsed/60; # get minutes
printf "Elapsed: Seconds- %7.0f Minutes: %7.1f\n", $MySecondsElapsed, $MyMinutes;
Output:
Fri Jan 18 17:00:00 2002
Elapsed: Seconds- 1117796 Minutes: 18629.9
Wags ;)

Subject: return # of minutes since 5:00pm Jan 18, 2002 in perl on linux
box
subject fairly sums it up. If I use localtime to get what time it is right
now how can I determine the number of minutes between a KNOWN moment, such
as above, and say, at the time the script is run? So far I have nothing
and am perplexed...
