That solution makes me really nervous, it'll break at the slightest
perturbation.  Use this instead:

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

Or even better, use a 4-digit year, which would get you out of this whole mess.

  $timestamp = sprintf("%04d-%02d-%02d\n", $year+1900, $month+1, $day);
