Current date from the system

[seenu01]

Hi Friends,
Is there any way one can get the current date from the system in Perl?

Try with the following ways,

use POSIX;


print system("date");
print strftime "%m/%d/%y",localtime;

I don't feel its possible you may check the documentation to see if there might be something that could serve to hack something together:
perldoc.perl.org/functions/time.html

Hi,

Please check below.

use Time::localtime;
$tm = localtime;
printf("The current date is %04d-%02d-%02d\n", $tm->year+1900,($tm->mon)+1, $tm->mday);
