Re: Time Comparison Easier Than I'm Making them

I've got an application which uses the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss for its
timestamping. I'm trying to determine if the time a record was created was 5 or
more minutes before the time the script runs.

use Date::Parse;
my $rectime = str2time '2007-11-28 16:40:11';
print $rectime + 300 <= time ? '5 or more' : 'Less than 5',
" minutes\n";

All I'm trying to do is take the hh:mm:ss portion of each timestamp and find the
difference

What if the record was created at 23:58?
