Not unless you use perl to create one. The date and time functions supplied
with perl (gmtime and localtime) supply adequate information to determine
the year well beyond 2000. The year returned by these functions when used
in an array context is the year minus 1900. For years between 1910 and 1999
this happens to be a 2-digit decimal number. To avoid the year 2000 problem simply do
not treat the year as a 2-digit number. It isn't.
When gmtime and localtime are used in a scalar
context they return a timestamp string that contains a fully-expanded year.
For example,
$timestamp = gmtime sets $timestamp to ``Tue Nov 13 01:00:00 2001''. There's no
year 2000 problem here.
