in reply to How to get the current Date and Time using Perl on windows?

Hi

You can use the time function in perl as

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$day,$month,$yr19,@rest) = localtime(time);##### +##To get the localtime of your system print "Date:\t$day-".++$month. "-".($yr19+1900)."\n"; ####To print dat +e format as expected print "Time:\t".sprintf("%02d",$hour).":".sprintf("%02d",$min).":".spr +intf("%02d",$sec)."\n";###To print the current time

    print "Time:\t".sprintf("%02d",$hour).":".sprintf("%02d",$min).":".spr +intf("%02d",$sec)."\n";

    Perhaps you could use printf rather than print and sprintf and avoid concatenation to make that easier to read.

    printf qq{Time:\t%02d:%02d:%02d\n}, $hour, $min, $sec;

    I hope this is of interest.

    Cheers,
