How can i change my insert statement so i will insert a date into the database? I've set the datatype in the database as dat/time with shortdate as the format. 
sub Scan_File {
    my ($variables) = @_;
    
    my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:ODBC:mwalarm')
      or die "Couldn't connect to database: " . DBI->errstr;
    my $sql = "INSERT INTO Alarm_Info(EquipmentID, Chamber, LotID, Waf
+er_Flow, Recipe, Wafer_Slot, Step_Value, 
        AlarmType, Sensor, Signal_Level, Alarm_Upper_Limit, Alarm_Lowe
+r_Limit, Code, Date_Submited, Time_Submited, 
        FilesName, UserCode)
     VALUES     ('$eqpid', '$chamber', '$lotid', '$wafer_flow', '$reci
+pe', '$wafer_slot', '$step_value', '$alarmtype', 
         '$sensor', '$signal_level', '$alarm_upper_limit', '$alarm_low
+er_limit', '$code', '$date_submited', 
         '$time_submited', '$filenames', '$usercode')";
        #sendToLog ($sql) ;
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql)
      or print ERROR "Couldn't prepare statement: " . $dbh->errstr;

    if ($alarmtype =~ /Clear/i)    {
        unlink "$scan_dir\\$filename" or print ERROR "can't unlink Cle
+ar $scan_dir\\$filename $!\n";
        
    }else {
        $sth->execute() or die "cant execute" . $dbh->errstr;

        $sth->finish;
    }

}
