Despite what some man pages claim, Unix doesn't store file creation times; what you're getting is the time the file was last modified. That would correspond to creation only if the file has not changed. As mentioned elsewhere, stat is far more portable, at least for modification times. -- Eric Amick Columbia, MD _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Web mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
