Usually when I want to do something like this, it's to make a uniquely named temp file, so the date doesn't need to be human readable, so something like this works just fine: # filename_<processid>_<epoch seconds> my $tmpfile = '/var/tmp/prefix_'. $$ .'_'. time; Just a thought. Simpler (than having to parse a string-formatted date), which is always good.
