You can use the default format returned by scalar localtime or you can do your own. Localtime is slick in that it converts the input (non-leap seconds of the epoch... usually from Jan 1 1970) into an array of useful data. You can then access that array and use the info any way you want. I definately recomend viewing the man page but I'll give you an example:
@info = localtime( $time ); # You provide $time, or get it from time() $stamp = (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, July, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, De +c)[$info[4]]; $stamp .= ' '; $stamp .= $info[3]; $stamp .= ' '; $stamp .= 1900 + $info[5]; print $stamp;
This gives the format you suggested of Month DD YYYY

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
