Re^5: print last file updated into directory

thanks for the pointers. makes sense to use the latest version of perl then.
I use a box which has 5.10.1.
some of the customers ive worked with have HP UX and solaris , besides there's no telling to which server OS, they will migrate to in the future, in which case i might have to rework the code if i use Path::Tiny.
Thanks! im learning

The temporal difficulty with perl is u need to know C well to know the awesome.else u just keep *using* it and writing inefficient code

Just an FYI, if you look at the links Anonymous Monk gave you, and checked the dependencies, they're all core and have been for many years. Path::Tiny is a pure perl module, so likely this won't give you much cause for concern.	[reply]

Program for today and today's operating systems to solve todays problem, what you're actually getting paid for, the future is unpredictable, cross that bridge when you get paid for it :) FWIW the way I see it Path::Tiny should work for you today, it should work for 99% of computers in use today, because 99% are Unix-like and ~~Win32~~Windows Some perspective on predicting the future Re^6: Finding repeat sequences.
