If you want a specific format, why don't you use that format instead of munging the "national representation of the date"? It doesn't even work (I get "2009-01-14").

Fix:

use POSIX qw( strftime );
my $date = strftime "%m-%d-%y", localtime;
print "$date\n";

But since he didn't ask for the date, he'd want

my $dir = strftime "Results %m-%d-%y", localtime;
