Hi,you can use the 'strftime' which is coming from POSIX to get your time format similar to Unix shell command. for example,you could write: use POSIX qw(strftime); my $str = strftime("%Y_%m_%d",localtime); print $str; that is similar to: $ date +%Y_%m_%d Hope it helps. -- Jeff Pang NetEase AntiSpam Team http://corp.netease.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
