If this is Perl, why need Time::Local? Time::Local is for getting a Unix timestamp from given time fields that can be used for further processing. It won't give you the date formatting.

A primitive, clumsy way but certainly works:

Quote:
[bernardchan@bernardchan ~]$ perl -e '@t = localtime time; printf("%02d/%02d/%4d %02d:%02d:%02d %s", $t[4]+1, $t[3], $t[5]+1900, $t[2]-($t[2]>12?12:0), $t[1], $t[0], ($t[2]>=12?"PM":"AM"))'

Or install Time::Format. It has a flexible way of formatting date and time.
