You might try:
SV* get_date (char* str)
{
char date[9]; /* the date to return */
char new_date[9]; /* this will be the date after reordering */
while ( *str++ != '|' );
strncpy( date, str, 8);
new_date[0] = date[4];
new_date[1] = date[5];
new_date[2] = date[6];
new_date[3] = date[7];
new_date[4] = date[0];
new_date[5] = date[1];
new_date[6] = date[2];
new_date[7] = date[3];
return newSVpv(new_date,8);
}
Might make a small difference…

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).
