Re: Best way to print out a particular date-time format (very specific)

I'd use:

use POSIX 'strftime';
my $date = lc strftime("%d%b%y:%H:%M:%S", localtime);  # %b returns Mm
+m, not mmm

Date::Manip is not core, POSIX is. Date::Manip provides everything plus the bathroom sink, POSIX is lightweight.
