string manipulation Can't Post
Greetings - new here. I'm not new to Perl, but only experienced enough to be considered a beginner. Anyhow, I need to manipulate a date string but I haven't been able to figure it out after multiple attempts. I want to be able to print the date starting with a "V", followed by the year, the month in a two-digit format, and the day in a two-digit format; like VYYYYMMDD. Example would be (for today's date) V20110720.

Code
use POSIX 'strftime'; 
 
my $datestamp = strftime('V%Y%m%d', localtime); 
print $datestamp;
