Wow. First: "get the size and the creation date/time a set of folders on a Windows Server (2012 r2)..."

The general idea of this is easy...But...you are using terminology that is confusing. The Unix file system doesn't have an idea of "file creation time", the idea of a "born on" date. The Windows NTFS system does have that "born on" idea. Perl can be used to access this specific Windows idea (with "extra work"), but usually that is not needed.

Normally in Windows and in Unix, the stuff that matters are the: a) time since this file was modified, b) time since this file was last accessed for r/w. The Windows idea of when a file was originally created is seldom used, even with Windows programs.

I don't understand your question. Can you give more details?
Normally what is needed is: a) last time file was accessed, b) time the file was modified.
