Then check out the various date/time modules included with Perl or available on CPAN, including Time::localtime, Time::Local, Date::Calc, DateTime, and Date::Manip. Date::Manip in particular has the ParseDate function for return a numerical time given a string. You can also do your own parsing of the output of stat, extracting the date and time fields and using the timelocal or timegm functions of the Time::Local module to calculate Unix times. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
