in reply to Re: create array from strftime
in thread create array from strftime

Or read the output of strftime(3). :)
Here's another example:
use POSIX qw(strftime); # POSIX is your friend # see man strftime(3) for format options my $gmtstring = strftime "%F %H:%I:%S %z", localtime; print $gmtstring;

Hope this helps.


my $perl_version( 5.12.4 );
print $perl_version;

    How does one use that to populate $day, $month and $year?
      I used this to populate Month. Couldn't something similar be used for Year & Day?
      use Time::Piece; use strict; my @months = qw( 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 ); my $t = localtime; print localtime->month(@months);
      my $perl_version( 5.12.4 );
      print $perl_version;
