Hi,

I'm trying to get file creation or modification dates from a mapped
network drive, using Win32 and Perl. Either of these methods works fine on
local drives, but don't work on network drives:

my $ctime=(stat($dir.$source))[10] or die "stat($dir\\$source) failed: $!\n";

my $ctime = -M "$dir.$source"

perldoc -f stat mentions that mtime isn't implemented on network shares,
but says that the other functions should work; in fact, any stat() call
fails with "file not found".

How can I get this done without switching languages? I'm almost desparate
enough to `dir $dir.$source` and parse the results, which seems
unspeakably lame.
