Powershell time within 2 minutes of listed

Hi,

I have a powershell script that I am comparing the two fields;
Get-QADGroup UGL-SM-Map.Shared-Full |ft ModificationDate, Description

ModificationDate Description
---------------- -----------
13/09/2011 10:55:37 AM 13/09/2011 10:55:37 AM

ModificationDate Description
---------------- -----------
13/09/2011 10:55:37 AM 13/09/2011 10:55:39 AM

I want to say if the date and time is -eq or within 2 minutes of each other then return true if not return false.

Help please :)
