2.Using a file's modification date in the filename

I want to be able to rename a file and prepend the file's modification
date at the front of the file. For example:
with a file named testme.txt and a modification date of April 1, 2006,
I want the renamed file to be named 20060401-testme.txt

What I can do is get the modification date using ctime, but it I can't
figure out how to format the output. I am able to format  the date the
way I like using strftime. Here is some sample code which shows the
output I do and do not want:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use POSIX qw(strftime);

# print today's date YYYYMMDD:
my $now_time = strftime "%Y%m%d", localtime;
print "I want it formatted this way:\n$now_time\n";

# print the modified date of file:
use File::stat;
use Time::localtime;
my $file = "testme.txt";
my $timestamp = ctime(stat($file)->mtime);
print "...but not this way:\n $timestamp\n";


Any assistance would be appreciated,

3.Hyperlinks, filename and date fields

In Word 2007 all hyperlinks and text fields such as the filename and date do 
not work. They just show the unfomatted code.
I got rid of all security and restrictions that I can find, probably too 
much.  
If I right-click a hyperlink or email and click on "select hyperlink" it 
will then format itself. 
If I insert a page number or filename in the footer, I get the code and have 
to right-click and select "Toggle field code" to get it to format correctly.

How do I get the links to read properly when the file is opened or fields 
inserted?

4.Comparing file dates with current date

I am trying to compare a file's modified timestamp with the current date.
 
I can use 'stat' to get the timestamp of the file but am not sure how to compare it to the localtime(). More importantly I want to be able to quantify the difference in days, month, hours and minutes. 
 
Any suggestions?
