try this...

($second, $minuet, $hour, $dayOFmonth, $month, $year, $weekday,
$dayOFyear, $isDST) = localtime(time);
$realmonth = $month + 1;
$longyear = ($year + 1900);
printf('%02d:%02d:%02d %02d/%02d/%02d', $hour, $minuet, $second,
$dayOFmonth, $realmonth, $longyear);

should work:)

Subject: Perl year


I figured out my guestbook erasing problem. I do have one more Perl
question.

I'm using the localtime function for a date when entries are submitted
and I'm getting 20100 instead of 2000 for the year. I reduced the field
size by one and got 205.  This is on a UNIX server. Could someone give
me a brief explanation of how this function works?

Thanks,
Kevin Riggs
