( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello Monks

I need sometimes in my litte scripts date/time in nice format. I can use (on Linux machines):
my $date = `date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M`; chomp $data;
or
my ( $ss, $mm, $hh, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst ) = localtime(); my $data = sprintf( "%d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d", ( $year += 1900, $mon += 1, $mday, $hh, $mm ) );
or
use POSIX 'strftime'; my $date = strftime '%x %X.', localtime;
First is little and nice, but use external program.
Second pure Perl, but a little to long...
Third is almost OK, but is it good idea to use POSIX in 20 lines scripts?
In QandASection: dates and times I can't found nothing else

How do you do this in your's programs?

Yes, smart people know that fat arrow autoquotes the left argument. But why should you require your code to be maintained by smart people?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
