calling outside script into perl mv()

[grazinggoat]

Hello Gents!

I'm trying to move gz files to gz files adding a timestamp at the end of the file using an already written ksh script

the ksh script is called fstamp

here is what i'm doing :

move( $File.gz $File.`$BIN/fstamp`.gz );

However I am getting the following syntax error:

Can't call method "gz" without a package or object reference at ./etvarlogmv line 31.

Any thoughts how i can get around this error?

I've written (and it works) the line using system()

system (" /BIN/mv $File.gz $File.`$BIN/fstamp`.gz ");

but was hoping i'd be able to use perl to move the file vs calling out to system.

Thnx

SOLVED my issue:

used strftime

move( $File.gz $File.(strftime '%Y%m%d%H%M%S%Z', localtime time).gz )
