Need Help??

If you want a unique filename, combine the timestamp with the process ID of the fork handling the connection...

Your question asks how to get the exact time, but I would be more worried about a guaranteed unique value.

P.S. Look at POSIX::strftime. I think

my $Now = strftime('%Y%m%d', localtime)

is much prettier to use than

($sec, $min, ...) = (localtime())[0..5];
$Now = sprintf('%4d%2d%2d', $sec, $min...);

I agree that he should be more concerned with a unique value. However, he didn't say that he was forking and, even if he is, he may well be handling some setup prior to the fork. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply]
