there's no need to use Time::localtime. from perldoc -f localtime
Code:
 
#  0    1    2     3     4    5     6     7     8
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);
from that, you can assign your date variable. there's no need to call external date command from the shell. for more information, read the rest of perldoc -f localtime.

put all your open() and close() commands outside the for loop. Use a different file handler, don't name both of them FILE !..
