[erlang-questions] setting a timer for a given date and time

[Joel Reymont]

What is a robust way of setting a timer for a given UTC date and time?

I guess I can take the difference between now (UTC) and the given
datetime using calendar:time_difference/2. This would give me seconds
which I could multiply by 1000 to get the milliseconds the timer
needs.

Would this be the best approach, though?

    Thanks, Joel
