You can do:
system "mv x.log x_`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`"; Be careful, it is not quote but contrequote !!! It is working for me. Good luck !! |

I try this on a SUN OS 5.7.
What is the result or the error ? If it is only on the date, the best way to adjust this to your system is to do "man date" !!! Do you try this command in your shell before scripting (without system !!) ? |

What is the OS of your ISP server ? Can you do a telnet on it ?
