Hi Colin.

A British date? There's controversy for you :)

use Date::Simple. But you'll have to change the format to an ISO
date - yyyy-mm-dd - or do this:


  use strict;
  use warnings;

  use Date::Simple;

  my $date = '06/10/1994';
  my $d1 = Date::Simple->new(reverse split /\//, $date);
  my $d2 = Date::Simple->new; # today

  print $d2 - $d1;

OUTPUT

  3233.95960648148


HTH,

Rob
