$dt->offset is giving you the +1100 and -0700 portion of each time format, but in seconds rather than hours, i.e. 11 hours = 39600 seconds and -7 hours = -25200 seconds. You could use the $dt->epoch method to get the duration in seconds:
my $duration = $dt_received->epoch - $dt_sent->epoch;
print "$duration seconds";
# 27 seconds
For finer grained control of the result you can use subtract_datetime()
my $duration = $dt_received->subtract_datetime( $dt_sent );
print $duration->minutes, " minutes, ", $duration->seconds, " seconds"
+;
# 0 minutes, 27 seconds
See DateTime::Duration

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).
