Use the POSIX strftime() function:
use POSIX 'strftime';
print strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S", localtime);
This works on both

my ( $year, $mon, @time ) = reverse (localtime)[0..5];
my
Probably not the prettiest, but it should work...
my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year) = (localtime(time))[0..5];
my $date =
sprintf("%04d",$year+1900) .
sprintf("%02d",$mon+1) .
sprintf("%02d",$mday) .
sprintf("%02d",$hour) .
sprintf("%02d",$min) .
is a strftime()
function that is similar to 'date' for UNIX, but I haven't used it.

Print `date +%m`;
Prints '01' for january,

Prints '01' for january, '02' for February etc
You can format all kinds of time with this.

I need to return the current date and time in the following format
MMDDHHMMSS
but am struggling to do this using the localtime function
In perticular, how do I get the month number(e.g. 09 for Sep)?
