You can try with Date::Manip ------------------------------------------ use strict; use warnings; use Date::Manip qw(DateCalc Delta_Format); my $start = '06:30:17'; my $end = '09:00:14'; my $diff = DateCalc($start, $end); $diff = Delta_Format($diff, 2, ("%hd")); print "$diff\n" --------------------------------------------- It works fine for me...
