Yes, I'm guilty of not having read the perlfunc.pod on localtime before
posting *ashamed*. Had I done that I would have noticed that time begins
1900... Regardless of that, I wouldn't have figured why I got three digits
when using sprintf(%02d), not that that's an excuse for not reading up on
localtime before posting but I wish it could be;).

I ended up using:
$timestamp = sprintf("%02d-%02d-%02d\n", $year-100, $month+1, $day);


Anyhow, thanks everyone for your replies!
