I understand why you have to deal with the ambiguity, but I still really wish there were an easer way to get a rough shot at this value when absolute precision is not required.
The problem is I'd like to be able to get the number of seconds a duration represents when it's not an abstract duration, i.e. when the length of all the days was originally known.
Mark, I posted this earlier but it hasn't shown up.
DateTime::Format::Duration has normalisation functions:
use DateTime::Format::Duration qw/strfduration/;
print strfduration(
pattern => '%s',
base => $london_pm_social,
duration => $london_pm_social - $now
);That will return how many seconds it is until the london pm social on march 4th.
