Hi Joyeux,
If I get you right, you probabily want to display your current date, in some format. If so, you can do like so:

use warnings;
use strict;

my ( $day, $month, $year ) = (localtime)[ 3 .. 5 ];
print sprintf "%s : %s : %s\n", $day, $month + 1, $year + 1900, $/;

#OR

use POSIX qw(strftime);
print strftime "%d - %m - %Y\n", localtime;

#OR

use Time::localtime;

my $tm    = localtime;
my $day   = $tm->mday();
my $month = $tm->mon() + 1;
my $year  = $tm->year() + 1900;

print sprintf "%s \\ %s \\ %s", $day, $month, $year;
