Re: How do I find today's date?

[vroom]

use localtime or Time::localtime

my($day, $month, $year)=(localtime)[3,4,5];
print "$day-".($month+1)."-".($year+1900)."\n";

# or
use Time::localtime;
$tm=localtime;
my ($day,$month,$year)=($tm->mday,$tm->month,$tm->year);

Edited to fix precedence errors in localtime() version as noted by 3dbc
