in thread parse_dir doesn't seem to work

I get the correct list returned (using 5.8.5) from parse_dir. Perhaps there's something it doesn't like about your brand of ls -l? Looks like there's a parameter to parse_dir to make it speak up on unparseable lines... does that help?

    Yeah, that's it. Getting "Can't parse" errors. Weird. Here's a typical line:
    Can't parse: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15264 2008- +01-03 12:46 out
    Thanks, man.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon";
    $nysus = $PM . $MCF;

      On my linux box, I can get such a listing via ls -l --time-style=long-iso, which in particular produces the 2008-01-03 date formatting. Do you have an alias for ls that includes a --time-style option?
      That date format looks odd... Without digging into the File::Listing code, I'd guess that's where it's choking.

    Here's what worked for me:
    $listing = `ls -l --time-style=locale`;
    Thanks to everyone who chipped in to help me. I'm grateful.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon";
    $nysus = $PM . $MCF;
