Command to display the date in numerical format?

25
Hi,

I know that the "localtime" function in Perl returns the date and time like
Fri Jun 15 10:49:45 2007.

Is there a command where I can display the date like 6.15.2007 in numerical format?

I would appreciate your response.

Thanks,
Sangith

You can use the POSIX module and the strftime() function. Look here:

http://perldoc.perl.org/POSIX.html

and locate the "strftime" section. It's a long page so scroll way down.

  1. use POSIX qw(strftime);
  2.  
  3. my $date = strftime "%m.%d.%Y", localtime;
  4. print $date; # Output: 06.15.2007
  5.
