Just for grins, you could use something like this. Time::Local is a core module that translates a string representation of time into seconds - think of it as a reverse of localtime.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Time::Local; my $start = "7:30"; my $end = "11:45"; my $interval = 15; # Assuming time is in a 24-hour format and adjusting for my timezone : +) my ($start_sec,$end_sec) = map { /(\d+):(\d+)/;timelocal( 0, $2, $1, 1 +, 1,1970 ) } $start, $end; # In case the times cross the midnight boundary $end_sec += 86400 if ( $start_sec > $end_sec ); my $int_sec = $interval * 60; while ( $start_sec <= $end_sec ) { printf "%d:%02d\n", (localtime($start_sec))[2,1]; $start_sec += $int_sec; }
I use timelocal to translate the given times into the correct seconds - including timezone adjustments. I chose the Epoch for no particular reason. After that, I simply let localtime do its thing.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
