To get the current time under Perl, you'd do:
  $time = time;
This is an integer (number of seconds since the Win32 time epoch).

Then to do it yourself you can do:

  @time = localtime $time;
  $timedate = sprintf '%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d', $time[5]+1900,
$time[4]+1, @time[3,2,1,0];
  print $timedate;      # I just got 2002-01-31 13:07:54

But to do it better, just use unstall the TimeDate module and
use the time2str() method in Date::Format (part of the TimeDate module).

Hey everyone,

Anyone know what the function(s) are to get date and time from a Win32
install of ActivePerl?  My unix code seems too be breaking on...

    $strStartTime = `date +%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S`;

Thx in advance...
