So I am wanting to create text files that are saved in this format hour_dayofweek.txt however I am having a hard time with the variable $theTime when I want the file opened 
#!/usr/bin/perl

@months = qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec);
 @weekDays = qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun);
 ($second, $minute, $hour, $dayOfMonth, $month, $yearOffset, $dayOfWee
+k, $dayOfYear, $daylightSavings) = localtime();
 $year = 1900 + $yearOffset;
 $theTime = "$hour_$weekDays[$dayOfWeek].txt";
 print $theTime;




open (MYFILE, '>>'$theTime);
my $url = 'http://en51.tribalwars.net/map/tribe.txt';
use LWP::Simple;
my $content = get $url;
@array=split(/,/, $content);
$n=1;
$j=4;



do {
print MYFILE "@array[$n] @array[$j]\n";
$n=$n+5;
$j=$j+5;
}
while ($n<=$#array);

close (MYFILE);
