That depends on what format you start with...
Short version:
'
#!/usr/bin/perl -wl
use strict;
use POSIX;
my @time = localtime(time);
print POSIX::strftime("%m%d%y%H%M",@time);
'
time is 'unixtime'. localtime in array context returns a 'time
array', whose format you can read about in the docs.
strftime uses an ansi c standard time format string - there are
several places you can look up the possible arguments.
