Perl + localtime()
ok here is a perl date question not asked befor.

i know i am feeling small for not knowing. BUT!!!!

Code:
$ENV{TZ}="US/Central";
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)=localtime();

how can i do the addition to year so i can get the current year w/o going $ntime=$year+1900; AND without useing the system function to call the external date program.

for somereason i cant get it to add 1900 to the year unless i create a new variable.

What do i need it for? to fill in this variable w/ the current full 4 digit year (2003).

$ARCHIVE_OUT="/homes/archive/outbound/${year}_${mon}_${mday}";

posix::strptime

POSIX::strptime(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      POSIX::strptime(3pm)

NAME

       POSIX::strptime - Perl extension to the POSIX date parsing strptime(3) function

SYNOPSIS

	($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday) = POSIX::strptime("string", "Format");

DESCRIPTION

       Perl interface to strptime(3)

FUNCTIONS

       strptime
	    ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday) = POSIX::strptime(string, format);

	   The result for any value not extracted is not defined. Some platforms may reliably return "undef", but this is dependent on the
	   strptime(3) function in the underlying C library.

	   For example, only the following fields may be relied upon:

	    my ($min, $hour) = ( POSIX::strptime( "01:23", '%H:%M' ) )[1,2];

	    my ($mday, $mon, $year) = ( POSIX::strptime( "2010/07/16", '%Y/%m/%d' ) )[3,4,5];

	   Furthermore, not all platforms will set the $wday and $yday elements. If these values are required, use "mktime" and "gmtime":

	    use POSIX qw( mktime );
	    use POSIX::strptime qw( strptime );

	    my ($mday, $mon, $year) = ( POSIX::strptime( "2010/07/16", '%Y/%m/%d' ) )[3,4,5];
	    my $wday = ( gmtime mktime 0, 0, 0, $mday, $mon, $year )[6];
