But these command line attempts fail:

output:

Search pattern not terminated at -e line 1.
It's the use of single quotes inside your stat() command. You've
already opened a single quote after your perl -e statement. Try
switching the inner single quotes to double quotes and you'll no
longer get the syntax error.
Thanks, and yes that works now.
At least I was kinda sorta on the right track there. But I should
have thought to try double quotes.
Then there is q and qq.
