Could you explain what do you mean by "get epoch time"

This is what I meant.

# create a DateTime object from an ISO timestring
my $isostr = '2021-10-09T11:13:57';    # jd 2459496.96802
my $dt     = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->parse_datetime($isostr);
my @phases = phasehunt($dt->epoch);
$logger->info("@phases");
my $start_epoch = $phases[0];
my $end_epoch   = $phases[4];
my $diff        = $end_epoch - $start_epoch;
my $hard_bottom = int($start_epoch);
$logger->info("integer bottom is $hard_bottom");

Output:

Anything numerical happens over an interval, and paying special attention to the bounds has a profound bearing on whether results are valid. I like to bound an interval with lub and glb integers to check results with familiar tools.

Thanks for your comments, I'm trying to get this written before before the interval has elapsed....

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
