Thank you very much, this sounds encouraging !
Unfortunately my ActiveState installation bites me again.
There is no DateTime::Span module there available, only DateTime::Span::Common. If I start with DateTime::Span::Common (just a use declaration to test) it dies "Can't locate DateTime/Span.pm in @INC ..."
Trying to install with cpan from the command line brings an error message

"Warning: Cannot install DataTime::span, don't know what it is.
Try the command

    i /DataTime::span/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

There is not DateTime::Duration module, only Datetime::Duration::Fuzzy.
:-( Update: Sorry! There is DataTime::Duration there, sorry, I have used the false script.

Dude, boo hooo :) A Guide To Installing Modules

DateTime::Duration comes with DateTime, DateTime::Span is what it is

cpanp -i FGLOCK/DateTime-Set-0.31.tar.gz

And http://ppm4.activestate.com/author/FGLOCK.html lists DateTime-Set (distribution which has DateTime::Span) practically for all platforms

Thank you very much!

The link to the ppm repository and the hint that DateTime::Span is in the DateTime::Set distribution did it!
Now have run the new script - in fact your script - against the "real life" data from the first post.

Start: Tue Mar 27 21:12:58 2012
End: Tue Mar 27 21:13:34 2012

That means over 15 times faster!
Many many thanks again!
