Your question is a little unclear, it's impossible to be sure what date format you mean - is that MM/DD/YY or the far more logical DD/MM/YY.

And didn't the last couple of years teach you anything about the dangers of two digit dates?

ISO has a standard format for dates and it's pretty good as it's a) sortable and b) unambiguous. Why not format your dates like this: YYYY-MM-DD.

Oh, and Perl comes with a built-in function to produce dates in any format, lookup the docs for POSIX::strftime.
