Perl - naming a file after the date/time
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. Smilie

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
