in thread comparing 2 file time date stamps

There is File::Stat and then there is File::stat; the former advises to use the later if using perl 5.8+. Path::Tiny, used in the code shown previously, has dependency on the later.

    I get the following error when I try to execute that subroutine

    path" is not exported by the Path::Tiny module\nCan't continue after import

    I use -

    use File::stat;
    use Path::Tiny qw/ path /;
    use File::Spec;

      path" is not exported by the Path::Tiny module\nCan't continue after import

      All you need is  use Path::Tiny; ... newer versions of Path::Tiny allow typing  use Path::Tiny 'path'; which documents where path() comes from

      Path::Tiny uses File::stat and File::Spec automagically ... stick with the path() api, and get the latest version for the most features and bug fixes

      Both modules are shown as available via ppm http://code.activestate.com/ppm/Path-Tiny/ and http://code.activestate.com/ppm/Time-Piece/

        From Path::Tiny github repository, I saw that "path" was being exported by default from the beginning (around version 0.0x). If OP is using at least a version from that tree, then use Path::Tiny qw[ path ] should work.

        Could OP possibly be using an even older version?
