Question Perl datescript Issue, missing perl module?


This is my perl script:

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);
$s = sprintf("%02d%02d%02d", $mday, $mon+1, $year - 100);
print $s . "\n";


This should output a date, does it fine on one linux machine but on the other one I get:

./Datescript.pl: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `$sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst'
./Datescript.pl: line 1: `my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);'

Anyone know which Perl module would accomodate this?

On the working system I have all these installed:

perl-Parse-Yapp-1.05-31
perl-XML-Dumper-0.71-1
perl-Time-HiRes-1.55-2
perl-FreezeThaw-0.43-61psa

perl-MIME-Lite-2.117-fc2.build75050824.12
perl-Apache-ASP-2.57-fc2.build75050824.12


On the target machine I have all these:

perl-Crypt-DES-2.03-3.1.fc3.rf
perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-1.1.fc3.rf
perl-DateManip-5.42a-3
perl-DBI-1.40-5
perl-Filter-1.30-6
perl-Socket6-0.18-1.1.fc3.rf
perl-Digest-SHA1-2.10-1.1.fc3.rf
perl-Net-SNMP-5.0.1-1.1.fc3.rf
perl-TimeDate-1.16-2
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5

perl-5.8.5-12.FC3
perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51-1.1.fc3.rf
perl-Time-HiRes-1.55-3


So all time and date rpm's are there but still no go?

It works on my system, so I don't know what to tell you. How are you running it?

No, that is the wrong thing. The OP is using Perl's built-in localtime() function (perldoc -f localtime) which returns a list of values, not something that generates some time object.

Obviously your script isn't correct bash syntax . Add "#!/usr/bin/perl" to run it with perl instead.
