Your a poet and you didn't even know it....

I really just wanted people's opinion on what they liked using "better"...

I decided to use the localtime method/function (*whichever its called) along with the Time::Piece Module.
I found that Module had lots of useful Methods with it. Some that I used include:
    *If $t contains 'localtime', then...
        - $t->sec;
        - $t->min;
        - $t->hour;
        - $t->mon;
        - $t->mday;
        - $t->wday;
        - $t->year;
        - $t->mdy("/");

Those were just some of the Methods I found useful when I was writing my script. I'm sure the other Module/Function has
plenty of similar Methods along with them. But I just found that this one was a bit more useful for myself...


Thanks,
Matt

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
