hi list, i'd like to try a first perl-script that should:
-define todays date -define todays date minus one week -find in a special directory files, that contain ddmmyy -remove them ..since i am an absolute beginner in programming...i think, if i can read out this directory, i can find the files with regexp. But: how can i find out the Systems-Date with Perl? Which format has it? Is there a perlman-page? (I was looking, but didn't find...) otherwise i would have to do a bigger workaround in a shell-script (but i would like to learn perl...) Hope for any help, thank you Roger -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
