This code will find the latest tide info before current time. Disclaimer: I cannot test the code as some missing modules resist installation on my box now.
my $last_time = 0;
my $current_tide = "We have a problem!";
foreach my $tides (@{$data->{data}->{item}}) {
my $format_date = "$tides->{date} $tides->{time}";
my $date_to_seconds = str2time($format_date);
if( $date_to_seconds > $last_time and $date_to_seconds < $now_in_s
+econds ) {
$tides->{highlow} =~ s/L/Low/;
$tides->{highlow} =~ s/H/High/;
$current_tide = " Test: ".$tides->{highlow}." Tide at: ".$tides->{
+time};
$last_time = $date_to_seconds;
}
}
print "$current_tide\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).

are good places to start.
