You could always use something like Time::Local to break the dates down to time() format and then subtract 8 hours or whatever you need to do, then subtract one date from the other.

One of the dates is a GMT date while the other is PST(or PDT) so my first Problem is converting the local date to GMT which is fine unless I want to automagically "detect" the hour back or ahead. So I guess my question is does anyone have a slick way to convert a date to GMT and a way to get the number of days between the two dates?
