Time::Format with two $time strings

[ruud]

Is it possible to make with Time::Format two strings like this:

$time1{ddmmyyyy}
$time2{ddmmyyyy}

I only see one $ in the doc's...

What? Please try to paraphrase the question so it make sense.

Surely, you are not asking if the following is possible:

C:\Documents and Settings\asu1\My Documents> cat t.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Time::Format;

print "$time{'ddmmyyyy'}\n";
print "$time{'ddmmyyyy'}\n";

__END__


C:\Documents and Settings\asu1\My Documents> perl t.pl
23022005
23022005

No, this is one string.

I have two dates, today and a timestamp from a file.
So i need two different strings in the ddmmyyyy format.

$today{ddmmyyyy};
$timestamp{ddmmyyyy};

Like that.

English is not my native language, so it's sometimes hard to explain what i
exactly want.
Sorry for that.

$time is a tied hash, so that is not going to work. However, the first
two examples in the documentation of Time::Format show how to do this.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Time::Format;

my $today = time;
my $stamp = $today - 1000000;

print "Stamp: $time{'ddmmyyyy', $stamp}\n";
print "Today: $time{'ddmmyyyy', $today}\n";

__END__

English is not my native language,

Neither is it mine.

so it's sometimes hard to explain what i exactly want.

That was only due to laziness, because it looks like you can express
yourself fine in English.

Sorry for that.

Apology accepted. Didn't mean to get on your case.
