Re^2: Getting a date/time in a certain format in a Windows and Linux environment

A word of caution: those won't necessarily give you mm/dd/yyyy. You'll need to use sprintf or printf to make sure you get 2 digits in the month and day. Similar considerations for the time portion:

my $formatted_time =
    sprintf "%02d/%02d/%04d %02d:%02d:%02d",
        $time[4] + 1, $time[3], $time[5] + 1900,
        $time[2], $time[1], $time[0];
