Need Help??

Update:okay, i think that you can use the following code to get the desired results:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use POSIX qw(strftime);

my $date = strftime("%-m/%e/%Y", localtime);
[download]

the hyphen should flag that you do not want padding for the result of the month value of %m which by default will be padding in month represented by a single digit 1-9.

Update:It looks as though %m still pads the month with a zero. I'll start reading through POSIX::Strftime and see what I can find...

If you're using strftime, try using:

my $date = strftime("%m/%e/%Y",localtime);
[download]

humbly -c
