Simple way to print a timestamp:

   print "Timestamp: ", scalar(localtime), "\n";

outputs:

   Timestamp: Tue Jun  3 08:25:16 2003

For flexible formatting, use the POSIX module's strftime() routine:

   use POSIX 'strftime';
   print "Timestamp: ", strftime('%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S', localtime), "\n";

outputs:

   Timestamp: 06/03/2003 08:26:45

perldoc -f localtime
perldoc POSIX
