HI: I want to write a perl script that would compute the date in the format yymmdd(050303) and subsitute it for a variable in the perl script. This variable is thereafter subsituted in a command that will be run inside the script.
myTest.pl var aDate; get todays date and convert it to yymmdd and assign it to aDate subsitute in a command such as $cmd = "integrate -t push -l $aDate" system($cmd); I will be running this script on unix. But I would like to be able to get the date value platform independant. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
