Some of the many examples were one line PERL commands:-
% perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime("%x\n", localtime(time));'
11/27/00
% perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime("%x\n", localtime(time -
86400));'
11/26/00
% perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime("%x\n", localtime(time -
7*
86400));'
11/20/00
...To moving your timezone back!
# env TZ=MET+24 date +'%m/%d/%y'

What are you saying? I do not need yesterdays date. Only tomorrow's. I
did have the time zone wrong, its actually CST. But does that allow for
daylight savings and leap years etc?
ksh TZ=CST-24 date +%m%d%y

It doesn't always give yestday's date.
eg. TZ=XXX-24 gives tomorrow's (not yesterday) date/time if you are in
England.
If you want your own time zone, replace the [-][0-9]* with the value +24
hours (yes, a "+" value)
eg. if EST5EDT, use TZ=xxx29
eg. if JST-9, use TZ=xxx15
If you want daylight savings time, append the 'dst' info to the TZ variable.
(see man environment)
