you're right, my bad.  using the script below, the result i got was "Wed Dec
31 19:00:00 1969".  turned out to be a permissions problem where the id the
script was running under couldn't see the parent directory.  doh!!  thanks
for the help.

my ($full_dir, @stat);
$full_dir="c:\\mnt\\data\\mp3";
(@stat)=stat("$full_dir");
print scalar(localtime($stat[10]));

Does for me.  The atime has no hh:mm:ss field, but the mod/create times are
accurate.

atime=Mon Jun 18 00:00:00 2001
mtime=Mon Jun 18 09:30:38 2001
ctime=Mon Jun 18 09:30:36 2001
