If you are running on a Linux box, please be aware
that date -I or date --iso-8601 will give you a date like '2001-08-07'. No need
for any processing, and it's the ISO standard. You can even specify an optional precision.
Examples:
> date -I
2001-08-07
> date -Id
2001-08-07
> date -Ih
2001-08-07T18+0200
> date -Im
2001-08-07T18:32+0200
> date -Is
2001-08-07T18:32:39+0200

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
