i have managed to display the date in format using :
$datestring = localtime($ABC[9]);
although it is not my fevorite format but it is okay now
my last question how to format the bytes in MB /KB i need a function that check the size and if it bigger than 1024 kb then display it in MB instead of kb ...
thanks a lot

You can customize the date format with POSIX::strftime
" $ABC['File::stat'][9] " should give you the warning
Argument "File::stat" isn't numeric in array element
There should not be a $ in $opendir
