Date function question
hi guys!
just want to ask if you could help me with the sript i'm working on. i need to automatically generate a summarized report everyday for all transactions the day before and ftp it to another machine. my only problem is that i need to name the file as the date yesterday. for example if i would generate a report today (09172001), the filename should be 09162001.txt, i've read the man for date but i haven't got a clue as to what to do.
please help.
thanks!

date::manip::migration5to6
Date::Manip::Migration5to6(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Date::Manip::Migration5to6(3)
NAME
Date::Manip::Migration5to6 - how to upgrade from 5.xx to 6.00
SYNOPSIS
When upgrading from Date::Manip 5.xx to 6.00, a few changes may be necessary to your scripts.
The Date::Manip::Changes5to6 document lists in more detail the ways in which Date::Manip changed, but very few of these actually entail
changes to your script.
It should be noted that once the changes are made to your script, it will no longer run correctly in 5.xx.
NECESSARY AND SUGGESTED CHANGES
The following changes are necessary, or strongly suggested:
Reading config files with Date_Init
If you use Date_Init to read any config files (if you do business mode calculations, you probably do), you should remove all of the
following config variables from your call to Date_Init:
GlobalCnf=FILE
PersonalCnf=FILE
PathSep=*
IgnoreGlobalCnf=*
PersonalCnfPath=*
and replace them with:
ConfigFile=FILE
where FILE is now the full path to a config file. Also, the ConfigFile argument should be the first argument in Date_Init.
Date_ConvTZ
The Date_ConvTZ function has changed. It should now take 3 arguments:
$date = Date_ConvTZ($date,$from,$to);
If $from is not given, it defaults to the local time zone. If $to is not given, it defaults to the local time zone.
The date is converted from the $from time zone into the $to time zone. Both should be any time zone (or alias) supported by
Date::Manip.
The old $errlevel argument is no longer handled.
ConvTZ and TZ config variables
If you use either the ConvTZ or TZ config variables, you should replace them with either SetDate or ForceDate. See the
Date::Manip::Config document for information.
Other deprecated config variables
Most of the deprecated config variables continue to function (though they will be removed at a future date). These include:
GlobalCnf
IgnoreGlobalCnf
PersonalCnf
PersonalCnfPath
PathSep
TZ
Internal
The following variables have been removed. If you use any of them, you may need to modify your scripts:
ConvTZ
TodayIsMidnight
DeltaSigns
UpdateCurrTZ
today, yesterday, tomorrow
If you parse the strings "today", "yesterday", or "tomorrow" in order to get the time now, or 24 hours in the past/future, this will no
longer work. These strings now refer strictly to the date (so "today" is the current day at midnight, "yesterday" is the previous day
at midnight, etc.).
To get the time now, 24 hours ago, or 24 hours in the future, you would need to parse the strings "now", "-24:00:00", or "+24:00:00"
respectively.
Do not use Memoize
In 5.xx, it was documented that you could use the module Memoize to speed up Date::Manip, especially when sorting dates.
This information is no longer accurate. Using Memoize in conjuction with Date::Manip should have little impact on performance, and may
lead to incorrect results, especially if you change config variables.
Please see the Date::Manip::Changes5to6 (GENERAL CHANGES) document for more information.
If you find other instances where it is necessary to modify your script, please email me so that I can add that information to this
document.
