Yes, your use of Time::localtime
is the key. It overrides the built-in localtime. If
you use the built-in, it returns a ctime(3) like
string. But in either case, a ctime string isn't going
to give you that 2004111622 format in most cases. To
get a specific date format, you'd also want to incorporate
something like a call to the POSIX
strftime function.
I can't tell for sure, but it looks like you may also be
trying to stat the base file name only: since you open
the directory, you'd need to prepend the directory.
Otherwise it will only work if you run it from that
directory.

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).
