Presuming you are pulling this info from a sql database, your db probably has
tools for this as well. You can convert to days, seconds, diff dates and so on.
Which is faster? I dunno. but you can try the previous Perl reccomendations and
your db's date tools in a [benchmark]
It probably depends on how many you have on a page, and anything else you might
be doing to the result.
