Someone posted the following code for handling dates and I've found it very
useful.

sub get_date {
  # Define arrays for the day of the week and month of the year.
  @days =
('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
  @months =
('January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','Septembe
r','October','November','December');
  # Get the current time and format the hour, minutes and seconds. Add
  # 1900 to the year to get the full 4 digit year.
  ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday) =
(localtime(time))[0,1,2,3,4,5,6];
  $time = sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d",$hour,$min,$sec);
  $year += 1900;
  # Format the date.
  $date = "$days[$wday], $months[$mon] $mday, $year at $time";
}

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] localtime($file->{'mtime'}) problem


hi

i am having a problem getting proper modified time dates of files when
using the win32:Internet ftp list, or the standard directory listing

i do this
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
localtime($file->{'mtime'});


then for each file i do something like this

print "$year/$mon/$mday $file->{'name'});

for every file, i end up getting a modified date of 69/11/31 thefile

eg;

69  - 11 - 31  bbsetup.exe                    144152 bytes
69  - 11 - 31  clients.pl                         29 bytes
