Charles and the Perl beginners,
thx for the response. But how do I ,from below, convert seconds old to a

Are you sure mtime tracks file age? I was under the impression
that that was not what it did on most operating systems.

That looks right. Your code is missing a closing quote. You might
commify the result as 1106803146 isn't very human readable.
