Michael,

Most likely you got a ton of emails on this one - here you go Ciao!

use Date::Manip;

my ($mydate) = (${\&ParseDate("today")} =~ /(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})$/);

print "$mydate\n";

The routine ParseDate - takes today or a variable containing a date 
and returns yyyymmddhh:mm:ss

I use the structure ${} with a pointer \& to the ParseDate return telling
perl to give me back the result and then I send it through a regex and put
it back into mydate.
