Could potentially receive more than one socket connection per second. Need to capture the
exact date/time the connection is made because a file will be created with the date/combo as part of the filename. Here's what I've come up with so far, feel free to offer any improvements:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Time::HiRes qw(time);
use strict;
# using time from Time::HiRes to obtain fractions...
my $now = time;
my ($secs, $fract) = ($now =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/);
# convert $secs to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS...
my ($sec, $min, $hr, $day, $mon, $yr) = (localtime($secs))[0,1,2,3,4,5
+];
my $new = sprintf "%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d", $yr + 1900, $mon + 1, $d
+ay, $hr, $min, $sec;
# combine the fraction from Time::HiRes::time to $new...
print "Exact time is: $new$fract\n";
This works but seems like a hack. Is there a better way to do what I need?

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).
