Hi everyone, Im very new to Perl and am trying to write a web front end to an existing MDB that we use at work. One of the things I am wanting to do, is calculate the age of records in the MDB, each record has a text field containing the date and time in the following format "2001-06-12 15:47:07". At the moment, I have been trying to write code to use Date:Manip to convert the time string into seconds elapsed since Jan 1st 1970 and then subtracting this number from the result of using $currentTime = time. From the Date::Manip docs it seems that the following code below should give me the seconds since 1st Jan 1970. $secs = &UnixDate($date,"%s"); When ever I use this I just get errors about Manip being unable to determine the timezone. Is there something I am missing/doing completely wrong, or is there an easier way for me to do this ? Many thanks Adrian. 0
