lostinpearl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need to append the time&date to a file name that is ftp'ed. I thought that after the ftp occured I'd just rename the file using a variable that contains part of the original filename. I need to keep the first 3-4 characters of the original name.
$mytime=localtime; rename filea filea$mytime;
Is this possible?
