Re: Re: Re: Time and Date Output

Bah, you call that lazy? :)

$ date > myfile.date

Even the perl version's shorter.

$ perl -e 'print `date`' > myfile.date

I am inclined to consider your laziness as false laziness. The problem is that while you type less characters, you cause the CPU to work more: use Benchmark; timethese(-2, { inhouse => sub { $_ = scalar localtime }, outsource => sub { $_ = `date` }, }); [download] jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply] [d/l]

timethese(-2, {
