The ctime() function provides a way of getting at the scalar sense of the original CORE::localtime() function.

use Time::localtime;
use File::stat;

for ( @ARGV )
{
    print "\nFile: $_";
    print "\n Last access   time: ", ctime( stat($_)->atime );
    print "\n Last modify   time: ", ctime( stat($_)->mtime );
    print "\n File creation time: ", ctime( stat($_)->ctime );
}
