Hello All,
I am reading all the files in a directory and then accessing the modify time for each of the files like so :
opendir(BIN, $dir) or die "Can't open $dir: $!";
while( defined ($file = readdir BIN) )
        {
                next if !($file =~ /^TT\.*/);
                $mtime= (stat($file))[9];
                ($Second, $Minute, $Hour, $Day, $Month, $Year, $WeekDa
+y, $DayOfYear, $IsDST) = localtime($mtime);
                $Month=$Month+1;
                print $Year."\n";
                $Year=$Year-100;
......

But, I keep getting modify date of 1/1/1970 for ALL the files in the directory even though they were modified yesterday, today etc.
Can anyone point out my mistake ?
