Yes. The problem is in the patch file. There needs to be a blank line before the line: --- t/base/listing.t Thu Nov 14 07:07:44 1996 Otherwise, it thinks the whole patch applies to lib/File/Listing.pm, which it doesn't. I'm not sure how that happened. Next time, I'll make sure I try applying the patch before submitting. > Anyway, this is how --full-time comes out here (Redhat 9).

(I haven't checked the change logs to find out when.) I encountered this myself, and have a new change that also handles the 4.5 format. I haven't yet assembled a patch to submit. I'm trying to decide if it should also support the --time-style=long-iso option, which looks like this: drwxr-xr-x 2 cjm cjm 4096 2004-06-14 22:13 CD1 drwxr-xr-x 2 cjm cjm 4096 2004-06-14 22:20 CD2 -- Chris Madsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------ http://www.pobox.com/~cjm ------------------
