in reply to Changing format of a date.

here is my preference: you can modify however you like, but I agree with keeping the century as well... 
my($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year) = localtime;
my $current_time = sprintf("%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d", $year-100,$mon+
+1,$mday,$hour,$min,$sec);

[download]
it's output of the time is in this format "030804135240"

    I'm ultimately going with your idea there, after coming back to this problem. Thanks!
