I need to get 2 digit time and date in a scalar when there is only 1 digit.
Eg: Using printf with %02d, I am able to get 05 to print at 5 min past the hour.
printf("%02d",$Minute)
I need to assign this output to a scalar variable so that I can use it as part of a
filename later in the code. This is a snippit of what I tried.
$realminute = printf("%02d",$Minute);
This works but prints the formatted minute. I do not want it to print, just assign
the scalar with two digits.
