Hello Monks, I am working on a project where I will have several different work files that I will be using to do different things, convert, fax, email etc.. I am trying to come up with a way to name the work files so they will not overwrite one another, I am going to create a different dir for each task where the work files will be stored, I am going to store the work files for about 1 year, for future use. This is why it is important that they do not overwrite one another. I have thought of using Time::localtime to grab the julian date to do something like julian.process#.fileextension.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
As always thanks in advance !
