Yes that is close enough for an starting point, thank you.
I need $timezone to hold the time zone in this format -00:00
The command date +%z will give it as -0000
I know nothing about writing perl scripts.
Can somebody show me how to add the : in the output
of the date command in the simple following script?
The cat statement is just so I can see results are correct.
#!/usr/bin/perl
$timezone=date +%z;
cat $timezone

Try 'date +%z' to get the timezone in the format "+0200".
Not exactly what you asked for, but almost.
