String manipulation help needed

[Brian Johnson]

I need a string in the form
Wed, 18 Jul 2001 14:20

Of course my line doesn't quite cut it.
  my $emaildate = join " ", $record->{day}, $record->{month},
$record->{year}, $record->{hour}, $record->{minute};

I'm weak in string manipulation in perl - any help people?

Just interpolate the variables directly inside double quotes:

my $emaildate = "$record->{day}, $record->{month} $record->{year}
$record->{hour}:$record->{minute}";

Or if you like it a little bit shorter:

my $emaildate = "$_->{day}, $_->{month} $_->{year} $_->{hour}:$_->{minute}" for 
($record);
