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 HTH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
