localtime() actually returns an array, so if you do this:
@date = localtime(); Then your array will be populated with the information you're looking for. Personally, I prefer to do it this way: ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(); Just remember that you have to add 1 to the $mon variable, and 1900 to the $year variable. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Butters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 5:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Split function I am difficulty in using the split function to extract the current date from the @date_time variable. #! /usr/bin/perl -w #Class 4 assignment # define hash use strict; my %days; %days = ( 'mon' => 'Monday', 'tue' => 'Tuesday', 'wed' => 'Wednesday', 'thu' => 'Thursday', 'fri' => 'Friday', 'sat' => 'Saturday', 'sun' => 'Sunday', ); # Define $date_time varible my $date_time = localtime; print "$date_time"; split $date_time,/ /; __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
