It was Tuesday, June 17, 2003 when Van Andel, Robbert took the soap box, saying: : How do I retrieve the system's current hour and date and assign them to a : variable?
Perl's builtin function called 'localtime' can help you here. It returns a list of information about the current time and date, two elements of the list are the minute and hour. >From the command line, type the following: perldoc -f localtime This will give you the information you need to do what you want.
