The only comment I would offer is to left pad your minutes with a zero. 

  #-- Original
  return "$hours:$mins";

  #-- Suggestion
  return $hours.':'.substr('00'.$mins,-2);

To see the difference, run the supplied sample with times of 5:33 and 4:33.

Update:

return sprintf("%d:%02d",$hours,$mins);

Just as good or better. *Smiles*

    Ah yes, good point - TIMTOWTDI, but I think sprintf is more your friend for this: 
    return sprintf("%d:%02d",$hours,$mins);
