Are these date functions of perl part of the normal distribution or a CPAN module?
if (m|\Q$date\U|)
This didn't seem to make a difference.
I noticed a couple of commands that may help. System and exec. Apparently they were further in the Learning Perl book (I cheated.. flipped ahead ::grinz::)
If there is a perl function that will populate a variable with today's date please let me know. I'll try the system/exec commands and cross my fingers :D
Thx
Sorry, I should have included it in my original message. The function you are looking for is 'localtime' (see 'perldoc -f localtime').
