problem with time stamp

[davide.papagno]

Hi all.
I use this command to get the time stamp file output

$date = ctime(stat($file)->mtime);

and what I get is:

Wed Apr 5 16:44:43 2006

is there a simple way to get only

Wed Apr 5
?

really thanx all

Look up strftime in "perldoc POSIX".

hth
t

Yeah Tony, it seems is great

$now = strftime "%a %b %d", gmtime;
print "$now\n";

But I have to get the time stamp of a file $file.
I don't know how to match strftime and stat function

Ah well, couldn't give it all away, could I?

localtime()

hth
t

localtime()

or use Date::Format instead of POSIX...

C:\tmp>perl -MDate::Format -e "print time2str '%a %b %d', (stat
'tmp.txt')[9]"

I use this command to get the time stamp file output

$date = ctime(stat($file)->mtime);

According to my ctime(3) man page: "The call ctime(t) is equivalent to
asctime(localtime(t))." and in perl localtime() in scalar context is the same
as C's asctime(localtime(t)) so you don't really need ctime there:

$date = localtime stat( $file )->mtime;

and what I get is:

Wed Apr 5 16:44:43 2006

Wed Apr 5

$date = substr localtime stat( $file )->mtime, 0, 10;
