Basically i'm working in a directory and I have about 8 subdirectories worth of files that I need to analyze, not a large fileset but i'm basically looking to stat them all. I think this code should analyze the last access time, modify time and last create time. Based on timestamps, if I wanted to also add start time, end time and how many batches were associated with each file, could someone show me how I would modify this?: #!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;                 
use warnings;                   
use File::Find; 
use Time::localtime;
use File::stat;

for ( @ARGV ) 
{
print "\nFile: $_";
print "\n Last access time: ", ctime( stat($_)->atime );
print "\n Last modify time: ", ctime( stat($_)->mtime );
print "\n File creation time: ", ctime( stat($_)->ctime );
}

The only thing i'm iffy on is how to pipe the files in the eight subdirectories into that code? Would it be easier to copy/save the files that I need to analyze to my home directory and call that file somewhere in my code? I'm still pretty new to perl so any help would be greatly appreciated.
