Checking if the user is online with time().

[perlTest]

Hi,

I have a database where the user info are stored and when a user login, it stored the last time they logged in. The time is in seconds like: 1038798090. How do I check with the current time and the last logged in time to figure if the user is been active for the last 2 or 3 minutes?

the functions gmtime() and localtime() convert seconds to readable time

and use localtime(time) to get current local time Mike
