I believe you would be better off (again matter of opinion) using timelocal
like
my ($mysec, $mymin, $myhour, $myday, $mymon, $myyear) = timelocal(time);
my $datestamp = sprintf "%04d%02d%02d", (1900+$myyear), $mymon+1, $myday;
This would give for 21 dec 2001 the value 20011221.
Wags ;)

Subject: executing system call
I am trying to get the date to create a file named after the current
date.
( running under win32 )
here is the code :
my $datestamp=`date`;
print "File name created : $datestamp\n";
gives me no output.
any ideas??
