Re: Adding a comma to format localtime

A cleaner way to do it is:
printf "%s, %s %s %s %s\n", (split ' ', localtime)[0,2,1,4,3];
Or, if you want to save it to a variable:
my $dateout = sprintf "%s, %s %s %s %s\n", (split ' ', localtime)[0,2,1,4,3];

Perl elegant? Perl is like your grandfather's garage. Sure, he kept
most of it tidy to please your grandmother but there was always one
corner where you could find the most amazing junk. And some days,
when you were particularly lucky, he'd show you how it worked.
