    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?
      It looks like it's an operating system error. Something funky with the OS, *not perl*, is going on. I'll update the title & root node to that affect. Thanks for helping me with this problem, ++ !
