Re: Getting a date/time in a certain format in a Windows and Linux environment

If you don't need date manipulation, and only formatting of localtime() output, try and see if POSIX::strftime() works on Win32. It's in the core.

update: s/time/localtime/

I did quickly try that and it complained that strftime was not defined (or something like that). I'll try it again though, maybe I did something wrong.	[reply]

Well, it could be unimplemented on win32, but just to make sure, here is some code that works on linux: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime("%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S",localtime); __END__ 08/17/04 00:40:03` [download] "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"
