this is probably a question that has been asked a lot, but this is a beginner mailing 
list =)

my @date = localtime;
$date = sprintf("%02d-%02d-%02d", $date[3], $date[4]+1,($date[5]+1900)%100);
print $date, "\n";

this prints today: 27-03-02

how do i "convert" so it prints 03 as this month instead ie: mar, and for 04 apr and 
so on.

i probably need to add an array with fixed months i guess like: @months = 
('jan','feb','mar','apr',may','jun','jul','aug','sep','oct','nov','dec');

how do i get this in this code, or anyone have a better idea?

btw thanks for the help with the regex that extracted date Kevin Cornmell, your regexp 
worked right away =)
