Okay. All right.
use POSIX qw(strftime);
my $date1 = strftime("%y/%m/%d %H:%M",localtime);
my $FILE = "/home/scripts/backups_db/db-$date1.sql";
Next, I want to use a shell command, so I use the Shell function[2], and
I must use the 'mysqldump' command :
mysqldump -u root -p *** --all-databases > $FILE
How could I use this command with the Shell function ?

And for this question ?
What question?running shell command in perl script?
You may need the system call.
system('command','arg1','arg2',...)
Yes, or exec().
