in reply to Date and time for log files

Yet another way to do it might be as follows: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Time::localtime;

$log_name=sprintf("my_log.%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d.log",
                  localtime->year()+1900,
                  localtime->mon()+1,localtime->mday(),
                  localtime->hour(),
                  localtime->min(),localtime->sec()); 

print $log_name . "\n";

Would give you: 

my_log.20071004122204.log

update: removed period between date and time to better reflect string from OP.
