in reply to built-in gmtime() returning one month off?

The localtime and gmtime functions represent the month of the year as a digit between 0 and 11 (0 = January etc...). Add one to your month value to get the result you are looking for. 
($day,$month,$year)=(gmtime)[3,4,5];
printf"02d-%02d-%04d",$month+1,$day,$year+1900;

      Next time, RTFM first. On your local system, you can use perldoc -f gmtime to get the appropriate documentation. Don't code by trial-and-error. Always have a terminal open to access documentation :)
