If by day, the OP means 24 hours, that's fine. If he just wants to move back the date one day without changing the time, your solution is wrong since not every day has 24*60*60 seconds. Use timegm+gmtime to do date manips.
use POSIX qw( strftime );
use Time::Local qw( timegm );
my ($d,$m,$y) = (localtime())[3,4,5];
print(strftime("%Y_%m_%d\n",
gmtime(timegm(0,0,0,$d,$m,$y) - 24*60*60)
));
With time:
use POSIX qw( strftime );
use Time::Local qw( timegm );
my ($sec,$min,$hour,$d,$m,$y) = localtime();
($d,$m,$y) = (gmtime(timegm(0,0,0,$d,$m,$y) - 24*60*60))[3,4,5];
print(strftime("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S\n", $sec,$min,$hour,$d,$m,$y));

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).
