Good Day All, I am trying to capture the date that a Win32 directory was last modified or created, either one. I have tried using: 

 foreach my $dir (keys %purgeDirs) {
        if ($purgeDirs{$dir} == 0){next}
        my $navigate = join("", $STITSDIR, $dir);
        opendir (THISDIR, $navigate);
        my @findDirs = readdir(THISDIR);
        foreach my $subdir (@findDirs) {
            my @stat = stat($subdir);
        }
 }

This collects data for . and .. but when it gets to a named directory I'm not getting any data. Am I doing something wrong - or can anyone recommend a better approach? One other thing that I'm thinking may be an issue is that the names of the directories I'm concerned with are composed of numbers, and this can't be helped. Much thanks.
