You should investigate Date::Calc a bit harder then (I know there are a lot of functions) as it has a number of functions that can return exactly what you ask for (Today, Now, Localtime, Gmtime). It depends on what you want to do with the variables next. If you want to perform any calculations or comparisons, then Date::Calc is a good way to go, otherwise $Bill's suggestion is a good one. However, if all you want to do is use the date to create a formatted a string (e.g. using [s]printf), then I suggest looking at POSIX::strftime.
