Unlike countdown and clock scripts, lcCountup shows the amount of time from a date you specify (in the future or in the past). You can display the time spent since the last update of a page, you launched a certain product, last time it rained in your town, you smoked the last cigarette, or everything comes to your mind. All you need to do is specify the starting date, and add a single tag to your pages, where you want the script to display the time. The script display right time in long or short format, consider leap years, the output can be in text or graphical format, the date and/or time can be specified in the SSI tag, you can have unlimited configuration files and much more. UPDATE: there is a new dynamic version through Javascript.

This script generates the time until the next event specified in the configuration file. The script requires the Date::Manip library.
