In perl, it might look like this:

Could someone give me an example of how to do this in C++ so that
it looks as close to this perl code as possible?

This will be useful to you for getting the timestamp aspect:

Other than that, use the '+' operator to concatenate C++ string objects, much like you use the '.' operator in perl.

Note that you can run into issues if neither of the operands to '+' are actual std::string objects (e.g. "foo" + "bar" doesn't work in C++ like it would in perl, since the literal string is not automatically promoted to std::string in some cases).

If this could happen without anyone having to die, that would
be even better.

That's asking a lot ;-)
