in reply to Date Time problem.

Consider using DateTime. 

use strict;
use warnings;
use DateTime;

my $dt = DateTime->now;
$dt->subtract( days => 1 );

my $curLogDate = $dt->year . '0' . $dt->mon . '0' . $dt->mday;

    While you copied the OP's behaviour of using "...012025" for Christmas, he probably wants "...1225". 
    my $curLogDate = $dt->ymd('');
