in thread File Test -A problem on SunOS 5.9 & perl 5.8.3

This doesn't work. Ideas? Output:
bash-2.05$ls -u /tmp/file.dat
file.dat
bash-2.05$ls -u /tmp/somedir
bash-2.05$

    Sorry, that should be ls -lu

      it works for files, but for dirs I get:
      bash-2.04$ls -lu dirname
total 0
bash-2.04$

        okay, do ls -lud dirname then. The important question is: does the last accessed time as shown by ls differ from the last access time as shown by -A?
