Someone posted the following code for handling dates and I've found it very useful. sub get_date { # Define arrays for the day of the week and month of the year. @days = ('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'); @months = ('January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','Septembe r','October','November','December'); # Get the current time and format the hour, minutes and seconds. Add # 1900 to the year to get the full 4 digit year. ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday) = (localtime(time))[0,1,2,3,4,5,6]; $time = sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d",$hour,$min,$sec); $year += 1900; # Format the date. $date = "$days[$wday], $months[$mon] $mday, $year at $time"; } jb -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeremy Aiyadurai Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2001 12:57 AM To: perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] localtime($file->{'mtime'}) problem hi i am having a problem getting proper modified time dates of files when using the win32:Internet ftp list, or the standard directory listing i do this ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime($file->{'mtime'}); then for each file i do something like this print "$year/$mon/$mday $file->{'name'}); for every file, i end up getting a modified date of 69/11/31 thefile eg; 69 - 11 - 31 bbsetup.exe 144152 bytes 69 - 11 - 31 clients.pl 29 bytes _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-GUI-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-GUI-Users@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perl-win32-gui-users _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-GUI-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-GUI-Users@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perl-win32-gui-users _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
