localtime() returns the current time in your timezone. When called in scalar context it returns a string representation of the date and time. When called in a list context it returns the individual components of the date and time: ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time); Due to its C based heritage you will need to make these modifications $year += 1900; $month++; You might also want to look at the strftime function (in the POSIX module). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
