Probably not the prettiest, but it should work...

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year) = (localtime(time))[0..5];
my $date =
        sprintf("%04d",$year+1900) .
        sprintf("%02d",$mon+1) .
        sprintf("%02d",$mday) .
        sprintf("%02d",$hour) .
        sprintf("%02d",$min) .
        sprintf("%02d",$sec)
        ;
