in reply to formatting integers for printing

printf("%02d/%02d/%02d", $month, $day, $year);
Assuming US centric there with variable names...

You may want to check into sprintf as well.

    printf("%02d/%02d/%02d", $month, $day, $year); If you're setting those variable straight from localtime(), and want to avoid displaying "04/13/101" intsead of "05/13/01", best use   printf("%02d/%02d/%02d", $mon + 1, $mday, $year % 100);
