localtime and stuff

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

foreach my $file (@userfiles) {
    my $size = format_size(-s "$user{site_id}/$file");
    $mtime = (stat("$user{site_id}"))[9];
    ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = (localtime
+($mtime));
    $year += 1900;


print qq~
     <tr>
     <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center" width="25">
     <input type="radio" name="select" value="file">
     </td>
      <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center" width="175">
          <font face="verdana" color="black" size="1"><a href="http://
+www.webewebin.com/home/$user{'site_id'}/$file">$file</a>
      </td>
      <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center">
          <font face="verdana" color="black" size="1"> $size</font>
      </td>
      <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center">
          <font face="verdana" color="black" size="1">$mon-$mday-$year
+</font>
      </td>
    </tr>
~;

}

for some reason if I was to upload a dile to this direcotry, foreach file it would print the day that I upload it, not the original day foreach.

Well, if you upload the file, the file is modified (not on the system it came from, but certainly on the system it went to). And I guess that's the time you're getting. Abigail	[reply]

Sorry for missing the point, but what date would you like to be displayed? -- Steve Marvell	[reply]

when marvell asked "what date would you like" i believe he meant "what time relative to the lifespan of the file" not "read me the code you just posted".	[reply]
