Hello,
I think this can be done by using "POSIX qw(strfttime)" or
"Date::Manip".
e.g.
#1.
use POSIX qw(strftime);
print strftime('%Y%m%d-%H:%M', localtime); # for more info about
strftime please use 'man strftime'.
#2.
use Date::Manip;
$str = UnixDate('today', '%Y%b%e-%T') ;
print $str; #see perldoc Date::Manip for more detail
Does them meet you requirement?
Best Regards
