Hello all,

I have a script that opens a socket to a device, issues some commands, then writes the 
results to a datafile.
That all works fine. I decided that I wanted to time stamp each of the entries

So where I put my separator:

 # print a section separator to the dateFile
 print DATAFILE 
"\n\n=============================================================================\n\n";

I wanted to put the date below it.
 
 $time =~ system('TIME \/T');
 $date =~ system('DATE \/T');
 print DATAFILE "\n$time $date";

It would not append the time and date.
So, I used the above to make it it's own perl script, and just removed the filehandle 
so the output would print to the console.

$time =~ system('TIME \/T');
 $date =~ system('DATE \/T');
 print "\n$time $date";

This printed the date and the time to the console.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is not working?

Thank you,

Craig
