Corion,
Below is the code I ran.
#!C:/PERL/bin/perl.exe -w
use strict;
my $file = 'c:/Steep/USA Data/State/KY/KY2.gif';
print "Checking '$file'\n";
if( -e $file ) {
system "dir $file";
my $mtime= (stat($file))[9];
print "Mtime: $mtime\n";
print "As string: " . localtime($mtime);
} else {
print "File '$file' does not exist, skipping\n";
}
$file = 'c:/usr/www/steepusa/stage/KY/KY2.gif';
print "\n\r\n\rChecking '$file'\n";
if( -e $file ) {
system "dir $file";
my $mtime= (stat($file))[9];
print "Mtime: $mtime\n";
print "As string: " . localtime($mtime);
} else {
print "File '$file' does not exist, skipping\n";
}
The output follows.
Checking 'c:/Steep/USA Data/State/KY/KY2.gif'
Parameter format not correct - "Steep"
Mtime: 1415235120
As string: Wed Nov 5 19:52:00 2014
Checking 'c:/usr/www/steepusa/stage/KY/KY2.gif'
Invalid switch - "usr"
Mtime: 1415235120
As string: Wed Nov 5 19:52:00 2014
The system command doesn't seem to like the file name as I've formed it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
