Re: where does this "%time" come frome?

It (the undeclared, package global %time), is constructed in the sub wanted:

  sub wanted {
       my $sb = stat($_);  # XXX: should be stat or lstat?
       return unless $sb;
       $time{$name} = $sb->$IDX( );  # indirect method call
       $stat{$name} = $sb if $opt_l;
   }

Because it is global, and the sub is called before the sort, it is populated by that time.

(Those horrible, old-fashioned perl4-style examples put me off of most of the Perl books I purchased.)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
