All,
I have this code:
my ($month, $day, $year) = (localtime)[4,3,5];
printf ("%02d/%02d/%02d\n", $month+1,$day,$year+1900);
which gives me
08/16/2004
what I want is 08/16/04. Should I just use Posix with strftime or is
there a quicker way w/out having to load the Posix module?
also, why I ntoiced I had to may $month+1 otherwise it outputs a month
back. why is this?
thanks,
derek
printf ("%02d/%02d/%02d\n", $month + 1, $day, $year - 100);
# Only works when $year > 1999.
Try 'perldoc -f localtime' to learn why this works.
