Need Help??

my $current = `date +%m/%d/%Y`;

You should try running that command from your Windows cmd prompt:

C:\>date +%m/%d/%Y
The system cannot accept the date entered.
Enter the new date: (yy-mm-dd)

C:\>
[download]

So that (it wanting you to enter the new date you want used) could be the problem.

You might want to correct this line also `chdir( $PSD ) or warn "Cant chanage to $JPG $!";` poj	[reply] [d/l]
