A simple question but somehow it seems to be confusing the heck out of me!
I tried your code BrowserUK on UNIX and things did not come out well so I switched to Windows XP PRO.
Here is what I did
(Note: I changed your 'file' to 'junk')
1. I created a file with some content
2. After a few minutes i added some more content
3. I ran the timestamp program
I see funny results. No matter the file, i get the same result
. Can you throw some light?
C:\>echo hi > junk
C:\>dir junk
7/31/2005 10:25 PM 5 junk
1 File(s) 5 bytes
0 Dir(s) 15,975,989,248 bytes free
C:\>echo hi2 >> junk
C:\>dir junk
07/31/2005 10:28 PM 11 junk
1 File(s) 11 bytes
0 Dir(s) 15,975,989,248 bytes free
C:\>perl timestamp
1 : 16 : 00 : 00
I am on activstate
C:\>perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)
When I run the program on UNIX i get 31 : 18 : 00 : 00 as output
Any thoughts?
thanks

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).
