The Date::Manip module will do it for you easily, as long as you're

Hi,
my ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year) = localtime(time());
$year += 1900;
$year -= 1; #if you want the last year
my @months = qw(01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12);
my $time = "$year-$months[$mon]-$mday";
Note: I don't know if Perl will put 01, 02, 03, ... for the first days.

Date::Calc is a wonderful thing. If that doesn't work however I would
suggest just storing the number of seconds from epoch (aka time) in the
log file. Then you simply subtract 30 days worth of seconds aka,
60*60*24*30 seconds -> which you can just use the constant for whatever
that comes out
I'd suggest checking out Date::Manip from CPAN. I use it to do date
comparisons in some of my scripts. Why do you need to convert the date
when writing it to the file. Just save the epoch time and use Date::Manip
to eval the epoch time in the file to the current epoch time.

No. Looks
Fred,
I don't know if this will help, but I have this code that figures out what
yesterday's date is. It should be relatively simple to change it to two days
ago. I am sure that there are easier ways to do it, but this has been
working for me for a long time. The only two caveats are that I didn
Also, take a local a the Date::Calc module for the date arithmetic.

You can use Time::Local package.
There is a function timelocal takes the seconds, minutes, hours, day, month,
year and returns epoch seconds.
