I think the minimal changes to your code to use a 0 instead of a space are shown by the 2 lines denoted with "CHANGED":
#!/usr/bin/perl my @tm=localtime(time); $year=@tm[5]+1900; $mon=@tm[4]+1; $dom=@tm[3]; if ($dom<10) { $dom="0$dom"; } $dow=@tm[6]; $dstamp=sprintf("%04d%02d%02d",$year,$mon,$dom); # CHANGED $hour=@tm[2]; $min=@tm[1]; $sec=@tm[0]; if ($hour<10) { $hour="0$hour"; } if ($min<10) { $min="0$min"; } if ($sec<10) { $sec="0$sec"; } $dstime=$tm[8]; # is it currently daylight savings time. $tstamp=sprintf("%02d%02d%02d",$hour,$min,$sec); # CHANGED print "year is $year\n"; print "mon is $mon\n"; print "dom is $dom\n"; print "hour is $hour\n"; print "min is $min\n"; print "sec is $sec\n"; print "tstamp is $tstamp\n"; print "dstamp is $dstamp\n";

The code could use a lot of cleaning up.
