You would first convert the two timestamps to a common format, preferably one that used a numerical value to express times. I know of two such: the Unix epoch time that uses an integer to represent the number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970 UTM and the Julian date that uses a floating-point number to represent the number of days since 1 Jan 4713 BCE. Are you looking for a Perl solution or a Python one? For Perl, you should investigate time and date modules available on CPAN, such as Date::Manip or Date::Calc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
