I'm fond of Date::Calc, so I played with your example a bit since I had never used it that way myself. I found something that seemed curious to me. Your example has the delta as negative, since @date_one is before @date_two. That makes sense. But Date::Calc seems to cause each and every element returned by Delta_DHMS to be negative. Should just the first element be negative?
[chicks]$ perl x
-33:-7:-47:-19
33:7:47:19
[chicks]$ cat x
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Date::Calc qw/Delta_DHMS/;
my @date_one = qw/2002 04 25 23 12 40/;
my @date_two = qw/2002 03 23 15 25 21/;
my ($dd, $dh, $dm, $ds) = Delta_DHMS(@date_one, @date_two);
print "$dd:$dh:$dm:$ds\n";
($dd, $dh, $dm, $ds) = Delta_DHMS(@date_two, @date_one);
print "$dd:$dh:$dm:$ds\n";

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).
