'localtime' question

[PadgeA]

Using Linux the following code :

use POSIX qw(strftime);
my $now = strftime "%Y%m%e", localtime;

yields '20070805'

Under Windows the same code yields:

'200708'

Any ideas on how to get the day of the month included using Windows?

Strange, both of them should be: 200708 5

If you want a leading zero on the day, use: '%Y%m%d'

strftime(3) says that the %e format flag is part of the Single Unix
Specification.

Maybe %e is possible on Windows, depending on your systems service
packs/installs and the level of POSIX compliance they add.
