Re^2: backuping mysql

[Anonymous Monk]

I was going to concatenate the filename but didn't like the number of dots:

my $file = 'db.backup.' . time . '.sql';

So I used join but forgot to clean up the dots:

my $file = join '', 'db.backup.', time, '.sql';

Still works the same but should be like this:

my $file = join '.', 'db.backup', time, 'sql';

or even:

my $file = sprintf 'db.backup.%i.sql', time;
