I can't seem to get stat() to work. I have the PERL BLACK BOOK and think I am following it to a "T" but I can't get anything to work. So, I am at your mercy Here is what I think is the relevant part of my script.....

my @files;
opendir (FILE,"/var/www/html/file") || die $!;
@files = grep {-f "/var/www/html/file/$_"} readdir (FILE);
closedir (FILE) || die $!;


foreach $files (sort(@files)) {
$mtime = stat($files);
print $mtime;
};

All it does is print the number 1. Am I using this wrong or don't have some permissions set right or something?. I'm just trying to add a date the file was last modified. Thanks for any help
