Normally by re-reading the documentation repeatedly, eventually, I get it. But not this time.
my $startdt = DateTime->new(day => 1, month => 4, year => 2007);
my $enddt = DateTime->new(day => 22, month => 10, year => 2007);
my $duration = $startdt->delta_days($enddt);
my $numdays = $duration->days;
print "Test: Number of days in period :$numdays (".$startdt->dmy('/').
+" - ".$enddt->dmy('/').")<Br>";
Result
Test: Number of days in period :1 (01/04/2007 - 22/10/2007)
Can anyone enlighten (if you'll excuse me using the term so thoughtlessly in a temple) me as to how I might get the correct duration in days and why this result is only 1?

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
