in reply to How do I remove newline character from a number got from unix command

The newline is attached because you're executing an OS command to do the work. Try using something more operating system agnostic - e.g. 
use POSIX qw(strftime);

my $date = strftime "%Y", localtime;
print $date;

or... 
use DateTime qw();
DateTime->now->strftime('%Y');

[download]
If you spot any bugs in my solutions, it's because I've deliberately left them in as an exercise for the reader! :-)
