in reply to Reading a directory and getting file dates

Try this: 
opendir(DIR,"/home/user/ptest");
while($dir=readdir(DIR))
{
  if(($dir ne ".")&&($dir ne ".."))
  {
    if(-d "/home/user/ptest/$dir")
    {
      ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,              $ati
+me,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks)=stat("/home/user/ptest/".$dir);
      print "FILE: ".$dir." Time: $mtime\n";
    }
  }
}

    If all you want is the $mtime, you might as well use this:

    my $mtime = (stat("/home/user/ptest/$dir"))[9];

    ...at least it's easier to read ;)

      Very true :)...I was a little too eager on the reply :), but at least it shows the available info one can get from 'stat'...

        A simple link to stat would do that too, and probably be even more helpful ;)
