What's wrong with "@variable"? It's a perfectly legitimate
thing to do, and many competent programmers use it often --
unlike "$variable", for which there are very few excuses.
The only thing odd about it is that "2002 10 25" is a strange
way to write a date, so another possibility would be
printf "%04d-%02d-%02d\n", @date;
or, if you want to keep Larry Rosler happy,
printf "%.4d-%.2d-%.2d\n", @date;
