Subject: time format conversion
Hi,
I have two strings that shows different times and I
want to find the difference in # of hours.
In PHP, there's strtotime(), but there isn't one
in Perl that I can find.
If loading additional modules is an option, the following can be of use...
Date::Manip
http://search.cpan.org/~sbeck/Date-Manip-6.23/lib/Date/Manip.pod
Date::Calc
http://search.cpan.org/~stbey/Date-Calc-6.3/lib/Date/Calc.pod
