I don't think ls or any other tool can give you this information. Creation time is not one of the metadata kept about files. Ext2fs or Reiserfs might or might not have special features, but these would be filesystem specific. man ls to see which time information you can receive, though. > Try using 'find' instead of 'ls'.

That's not abuse, that's the cleanest way to do it in shell CGI IMHO.
