Hmmm. I can't repeat it with:
perl -we 'print -A, " age of $_: ", -A > 30 ?"old\n":"new\n" for (</t
+mp/*.*>);'
#output for /tmp (linux):
6.93273148148148 age of /tmp/20010424.txt: new

You're sure it doesn't have something to do with the
value of $file? Otherwise, I'd think of some activestate
bug...

Update: c-era maybe right as well. But on linux,
you must be pretty fast for the -A to be really zero..
