[mrtg] Re: perl question, more or less

[Tony Bourke]

Hi Paul,

For these purposes I used just sh, which could be incorporated into a
system(""); command in perl:

DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d`

cp $HTDIR/switches/sw.2.2-day.gif $ADIR/total/total_$DATE.gif

This has worked out extremely well, producing a file along the lines of:

total_2000-04-04.gif

I added some stuff and it automatically creates a webpage for the information.  I would like a perl statement or option that creates a file called "20000606in.html" (today's date plus in.html) instead of just "in.html".  Any ideas?  I am sure there's something out there to do this, I just haven't been able to find it.
