On windows, you can use the /t switch with Date or Time command to display the date without prompting Date /T will not prompt you for the new date. I modified your code below. I am assuming you are trying to get the system date from windows:
use strict; use warnings; my $result = `date /t`; print "Result is $result\n"; Alternatively you can use my $result=(localtime); print "My local time is $result\n"; Tony B.
