DateTime::Format::Duration (Score:2)

There's a module called DateTime::Format::Duration that should do what you want. Unfortunately, it needs some work to pass its tests with the latest DateTime.pm.

  The last time I checked (this morning), it did not do what I wanted. It could tell me the minutes component of the interval, but it could not convert the days, hours, and minutes to a total number of minutes. Unless I'm missing something, and if so, please point it out, because you will really help me.

    I think you'd be best served by writing a message to datetime@perl.org outlining what you want to do.
