I'd start with making that easier to extend (and maintain). The snippet uses the default (builtin) localtime function, not the one returning a hashref or an object:
sub timestamp
{
my @st = localtime (shift);
return sprintf "%04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d.000-0700",
$st[5] + 1900, ++$st[4], @st[3,2,1,0];
}
sub starttimestamp { return timestamp (time); }
sub endtimestamp { return timestamp (time + (15 * 60)); }
sub futuretimestamp { return timestamp (time + shift); }
my $fts = futuretimestamp (162 * 60 * 60); # Stamp 162 hours ahead
This way, there is only one location that defines the required format and several easy ways to use that.
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
