[Templates] [recipe] Calculating age

[Paul Makepeace]

I just came up with this inexpensive way to show age in years. All the
pieces are straightforward but I thought it was kind of cute.

[% USE date %]
[%# perl -MDate::Parse -le 'print str2time("Apr 10 04:30 +0200 UTC 1974")' %]

Hi, I'm [% ((date.now - 134793000) / 365.2425) div 86400 %].

[%# http://star-www.st-and.ac.uk/~fv/webnotes/chapt17.htm
    for the 365.2425 days in a Gregorian year (error = 1 day in 3320years) %]
