Thanks, Mikhail!  Yes, that worked well.  I just don't understand how
quoting, commas and brackets work in perl print statements.  Your code was
illuminating.  After reading it, I altered the line of code as follows...

perl -e
'($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)=localtime(time);
print $mon+1,"/$mday/",$year+1900,"\n";'

...so that I'd get 4/1/2001 instead of 4 1 2001.

Thanks much.

Mike
