You should be aware that your have multiple gmtime() function calls in your
script and this could cause problem. the reason is because between your
first and second gmtime() function call, some times have passed(yes, very
very very little but...) so the time return by the 2 gmtime() functions
$hour = 1;
$hour = sprintf("%02d",$hour); // $hour now become "01"
$hour = 10;
$hour = sprintf("%02d",$hour); // $hour still "10"
no need for the checking it's length.

do you want to extract the date and time string in your email

Hi Anadi,
You want to take a look at the MIME-tools, specifically MIME::Parser
and MIME::Head (look for MIME::Tools on http://search.cpan.org). If
that seems too heavy duty for your needs, take a look at the Mail::*
modules on the CPAN.
Also look there for ways to access the mail, if you haven'

Check the documentation on sprintf(). I don't have perl with me, but I
think "perldoc -f sprintf" will find it, otherwise you can look through the
perlfunc section of the docs for sprintf. Offhand I'd guess that %02u
refers to an unsigned integer in decimal format?
