This is the one I want to use

$date = &datetime;
sub datetime { 
local(@t, $day, $month, $ap, $t1, $date); 
@t=localtime(time); 
$day=('Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 
'Thur', 'Fri', 'Sat')[$t[6]]; 
$month=('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 
'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 
'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec')[$t[4]]; 
if($t[2] > 12) { 
$t[2]-=12; 
$ap='pm'; 
} 
else {$ap='am';} 
$t1=sprintf("%.2d", $t[1]); 
$yr=2000+$t[5]; 
# wkday mo moday yr hr min am/pm 
$date="$day $month $t[3], $yr, $t[2]:$t1 $ap"; 
return $date; 
}
