: This should help a little .....
: sub curTime sets the global $dateStr !!
:
: sub curTime {
: at domain days = ("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
: [...]

Urk. Why not use:

use POSIX;

at domain structtm = localtime(time);
print POSIX::strftime ("[blah, blah, blah]", at domain structtm);

where the arguments to strftime() contain how you want to format the date.
