I using perl v5.8.4 on a HPUX platform, i have a script that needs to be able to determine if a file is for today or not.
My thought was to use the file test operators in perl, so i did a small test script posting the file and various test operators.
My problem is that every file has the same test results.

foreach my $logfile ( <./report*> ) 
{
    chomp($logfile);
    chomp(my @ll = `ll $logfile`);
    print "\n\n--------------------------------\n@ll\n";
    printf ("%22s %7.2f %7.2f %7.2f %7.2f %7.2f %7.2f\n", $logfile, -M
+ _, -A _, -C _, -r _, -w _, -O _);
}

file test returns the same for all files.

Any Ideas why this is happening?
