Change the format to what you want: use strict; use POSIX; my $date = strftime ("%d-%b-%Y", localtime); # 06-Feb-2002 my $time = strftime ("%H:%M:%S", localtime); # 14:22:00 open OUT, '>filename' or die "Error opening 'filename': $!\n"; print OUT $date, "\n"; print OUT $time, "\n"; close OUT; __END__ -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=14439852 (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (Free site for Perl) -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
