As per the perlcheat page: "just use POSIX::strftime!"
# Begin
use POSIX qw(strftime);
my $date = strftime("%Y%m%d", localtime());
# End
There's possibly something in Date::Calc as well. But this is the
quickest way I know, especially if you're familiar with the date command
in *nix.
Hope this helps,
