Number of days since it was last modified would be<br />

a readable date would be<br />
&nbsp;scalar localtime((stat $filename)[9])<br />

</div>

<div>
ozo, are you sure that -M works on win32? &nbsp;I had thought that there might be bugs with it...<br />

<div>
It seems to work the same as ($^T-(stat $filename)[9])/(60*60*24)<br />
What version are you using?<br />

<div>
Then you do you use Date::Manip?<br />

<div>
perldoc Date::manip<br />
<br />
Look at UnixDate<br />
<br />

<div>
($d,$m,$y) = (localtime((stat $filename)[9]))[3,4,5];<br />
$m+=1; $y+=1900; <br />
printf(&quot;%02d/%02d/%d\n&quot;,$d<wbr />,$m,$y);<br />
<br />
use Date::Manip;<br />
print &amp;UnixDate(scalar localtime((stat $filename)[9]),&quot;%d/%m/%Y&quot;)<wbr />;<br />

</div>


($d,$m,$y) = (localtime((stat $filename)[9]))[3,4,5];
$m+=1; $y+=1900;
printf("%02d/%02d/%d\n",$d,$m,$y);

use Date::Manip;
print &UnixDate(scalar localtime((stat $filename)[9]),"%d/%m/%Y");


<div>
use POSIX;<br />
print strftime&quot;%d/%m/%Y&quot;,localti<wbr />me((stat $filename)[9]);<br />

</div>


use POSIX;
print strftime"%d/%m/%Y",localtime((stat $filename)[9]);


<div>
Thank you would you like the points ozo?<br />

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
