Perl : localtime with print
- by kiruthika
Hi all,
I have used the following statements to get the current time.
print "$query executed successfully at ",localtime;
print "$query executed successfully at ",(localtime);
print "$query executed successfully at ".(localtime);
Output
executed successfully at 355516731103960
executed successfully at 355516731103960
executed successfully at Wed Apr 7 16:55:35 2010
The first two statements are not printing the current time in a date format.
Third statement only giving the correct output in a date format.
My understanding is the first one is returning a value in scalar context,so it is returning numbers.
Then in the second print I used localtime in list context only,why it's also giving number output.
