Re^2: localtime(time()) function in header

Why do you post an answer when you don't answer the question? The OP is obviously asking a question related to perl formats. Why are you giving random links about localtime?

pugsly62, if you're listening, you might want to try something along the lines of the following:

format STDOUT_TOP =
@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
scalar localtime
.

format STDOUT =
some data here
.

write;

Update: forgot to mention that I downvoted prasadbabu's post for being a non-answer.

The OP is obviously asking a question related to perl formats. I would not call it "obviously". It can be guessed, yes, but not known. He also might want to put a date in a HTTP-header or something. The OP should read Tutorials, esp. On asking for help and How to ask questions the smart way (off-site). Update: And since you are new to this site pugsly62, the OP is you ,) Update: And as for you edan, it seems encouraging people reading the site-docs is worth the time. This post is nicely asked and well formatted. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply]

I consider the mention of `STDOUT_TOP` a dead giveaway. If prasadbabu didn't understand that the question was about formats, then he has no business answering it. And as for you holli - I wish people would stop playing dumb, get off the "you have to ask the question perfectly or we'll flame you to hell" high-horse, and get on with helping people. Sheesh. -- edan	[reply]

Thanks everyone...I had been searching diligently through my perl books but I could not find any reference to using functions in headers, thus my question. I'll give your example a try. Thanks! Scott	[reply]
