the following was taken from a perl script:
my $date = strftime "%B %d %H:%M:%S", localtime;
how can i modify it so this date outputs the date in the form of the date of the messages file. for example:
Sep 20 11:48:44
As it is right now, the perl script outputs the date like this:
September 20 11:50:45
also, in the messages file, if the date of the current day is a single digit day (for example the 6th of september), it outputs the date like this:
Sep 6 11:48:44
notice there are two spaces between the month and the date.
how do i make the perl script do both of these? and by both of these i mean the (shortening of the month name, and the insertion of two spaces between the month and day IF the day of the month is single digit).
