Perl - naming a file after the date/time

tgreig · #1 (**permalink**) 05-22-2002

I'm making log-files for 4different hp-ux's and I need to
name the files after the date so I can keep the files.

The way I want the filename to look is like this:
yymmdd.log ( 020522<CompName>.log ). Can anyone please give me a helping hand.

I have made the log-script and the script that retrieves the files from the different computers via ftp so it's only this left..

best regards
Thomas Greig

nevermind.. $filename = system("date +%y%m%d");
almost solves my problem..
