Building off comments from others, here's something that I came up that I think does what you're wanting.

use strict;
use warnings;

use feature 'say';

use File::Find::Rule;

my $dir = 'C:\testdir';
if ($#ARGV >= 0) {$dir = $ARGV[0];}

my $rule = File::Find::Rule->new;
my @items = $rule->in($dir);

my @fields = ("dev","ino","mode","nlink","uid","gid","rdev","size","at
+ime",
    "mtime","ctime","blksize","blocks");
my %num;
my $index = 0;
foreach my $field (@fields) {
    $num{$field} = $index;
    $index++;
}

foreach my $item (@items) {
    my $type = (-f $item) ? 'file'
    : (-l $item) ? 'symbolic link'
    : (-d $item) ? 'directory'
    : (-b $item) ? 'block special file'
    : (-c $item) ? 'character special file'
    : (-p $item) ? 'named pipe'
    : (-S $item) ? 'socket'
    : 'unkown';
    
    my (@lstat) = lstat $item;
    
    my %times;
    foreach my $time ("atime","ctime","mtime") {
        $times{$time} = localtime($lstat[$num{$time}]);
    }
    
    my $size = commify($lstat[$num{'size'}]);
    
    my $perms = sprintf "%04o", $lstat[$num{'mode'}] & 07777;
        
    $item =~ s|\/|\\|g;
    
    say "Found item '$item'";
    say "  Type: $type";
    say "  Permissions: $perms";
    say "  Size: $size bytes";
    say "  Access Time: $times{'atime'}";
    say "  Inode change time: $times{'ctime'}";
    say "  Last modify time: $times{'mtime'}";
    say "\n";
}

sub commify {
   my $input = shift;
   $input = reverse $input;
   $input =~ s/(\d\d\d)(?=\d)(?!\d*\.)/$1,/g;
   return reverse $input;
}

Below is a sample output from the code above. There are two Windows shortcuts to cmd.exe included in the output, which did not cause any problems. It kind of looks like you were trying to parse through the folder that holds the "Favorites" from Internet Explorer. I tested the script above against the Favorites folder on my system and I didn't encounter any issues.
