Hello Monks

I am struck up in a strange situation and got to be resolved asap...wondering where the problem is... 
   my $busnDate;
   my $valuFileName="ABCD_060824010101.DAT";
   my $distFileName="EFGH_060824010101.DAT";
   my $tranFileName="HIJK_060824010101.DAT";
   my $tmp_file="C:\\temp\\testtmp.tmp";
   $busnDate = substr($valuFileName, index($valuFileName, '_')+1, 12);
   print $busnDate;
   # store file names - order should be BUSINESS_DATE VALU DIST TRAN
   print "\nStoring file names in file $tmp_file: ";
   open(TMP_FILE, "> $tmp_file") or die "failed\n";
   print "SUCCESS\n";
   print TMP_FILE $valuFileName . "\n";
   print TMP_FILE $distFileName . "\n";
   print TMP_FILE $tranFileName . "\n";
   print TMP_FILE $busnDate;
   close TMP_FILE;

The above code is suppose to write valu, dist, tran and timestamp
...but surprisingly only valu, dist, tran is written into file and not time
Can anybody tell me how to makesure it writes timestamp
its critical and thanks for the help
