in reply to Re^2: Is there a better way to print time in a HH:MM:SS format than sprintf
in thread Is there a better way to print time in a HH:MM:SS format than sprintf

Well, the POSIX::strftime way is shorter than printf: 

use POSIX;
print strftime("%H:%M:%S", localtime);

since time (i.e. Now) is the default for localtime. And if you wrap this into a sub, its usage is even shorter: 
sub TimeHMS {
  my $time = scalar(@_) ? shift(@_) : time;
  return strftime( "%H:%M:%S", localtime($time) );
} # TimeHMS
print TimeHMS();
