Re: Print time in Date"T"time+Gmtoffset

Is the colon required in the offset for your purposes? If not:

perl -E '
use POSIX;
say strftime "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z", localtime();
'

If you want the colon and no zero-padding, you could grab the offset by itself (strftime "%z", localtime();), throw a colon in it and drop the leftmost digit if it is 0. Or there might be an easier way.

Allowing the leading zero to be dropped would be a bad choice of format as it would no longer be an iso8601 timestamp. (Adding a colon is fine.)	[reply]
