what?? you need to actually explain things, not just dump some code and wait.

Code:

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);
$year += 1900; 

my $out = "$dir/$host-$mday-$mon-$year"

;

This is working

Thanks.

So you find that dd-mm-yyyy is not the same as ddDOWyyyy ... oh dear.

No tink,

when I did

Code:

$file =  "name-`date <format>`" ;

and use it in

Code:

system("something > $file ");

it worked fine.

But when I did

Code:

open, FILE, "+<", $file or die $_;

It wont recognize the name. using `date` from system was adding some thing into it.

But with my second example

Code:

. "localtime(time)";

it worked.

Thanks for you guys looking at the problem.
