A lot depends are you definition of easy. I am familiar with the
formats used in the POSIX stringify time function which expects the
built-in version of localtime(). This makes it easy for me to use
strftime(). YMMV.
use strict;
use warnings;
use POSIX 'strftime';
print strftime "The current date is %Y-%b-%d", localtime();
