I have this code:
my ($month, $day, $year) = (localtime)[4,3,5]; printf ("%02d/%02d/%02d\n", $month+1,$day,$year+1900);
which gives me
08/16/2004
what I want is 08/16/04. Should I just use Posix with strftime or is there a quicker way w/out having to load the Posix module?
POSIX is probably the "right" way to do it, though you could just use a regex to strip off the first two digits of the year:
$year =~ s/\d\d(\d\d)/$1/;
...or something to that effect.
also, why I ntoiced I had to may $month+1 otherwise it outputs a month back. why is this?
Because, as with many things in programming, it counts from zero, not one.
