A correction for Lee and Trevor. The "-M" function is not the same as (stat $file)[9] which is what the original poster wanted (i.e. mtime of a file).
You're right of course: not a very good mnemonic. And whilst I'm showing my ignorance, can someone please explain to me why stat needs so many brackets? Same for localtime. I understand both functions can return a scalar or an array - but what's with the brackets...? Is there a logic?
