program fails to write some entries in log

2008-07-10 Thread icarus
what this does: it classifies a file based on its modification date. example: xfile1 is dated July 9, 2008. If it doesn't exist, the program creates a directory structure 2008/July/09 and places xfile1 there. Then it creates a log with the steps done. So...in the system the result is 2008/July/0

scalar context such as reading a dir using while () ] , it has to be an array. use strict; use warnings; my $path = "/home/icarus/files"; my $time_var = "-M"; opendir (MYDIR, $path) or die $!; #from older to newest. If you want from newest to oldest, switch the $b for $a
