++haukex I put together a short script to confirm that your solution works (I was curious about Statistics::R since I had not used it before). This code,

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use Statistics::R;
use Data::Dumper;

# Create a communication bridge with R and start R
my $R = Statistics::R->new();

$R->set(
    'data',
    [
        "2016-03-15 13",
        "2016-03-16 23",
        "2016-03-17 06",
        "2016-03-18 15",
        "2016-03-19 08",
        "2016-03-20 21"
    ]
);

$R->run( q`datevec <- strptime(data,"%Y-%m-%d %H")` );
$R->run( q`xx <- difftime(datevec[-length(datevec)],datevec[-1],units=
+"hours")` );
@Rres = $R->get('xx');

print Dumper(\@Rres);

exit;

Gives this output,

$VAR1 = [
          [
            '[1]',
            '-34',
            '-7',
            '-33',
            '-17',
            '-37'
          ]
        ];

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
