[prog] Perl dates

[Sue Stones]

I have been trying to figgure out how to get a date in the form "mmyyyy" but
haven't succeeded. I can get a beutifully formatted string using the unix
`date` command, but that is not what I want this format to name log files.

The only perl book that i have at the moment is "perl in 24 hrs" ~ or
something to that effect.  I may have to get a better book, when I can
afford it.


thanks
