Print Date
Bit of a newbie question...

I'm trying to print the date to the page with this function but I get nothing:

$topMSG = "Print Date\ \: $ENV{DATE}
\n";

What am I doibg wrong?

Thanks.

How about date and time ?

$date = scalar localtime;
print $date;

Try.....


$date = `/bin/date`;

print "The current date is $date";
