Cool, so I've got the option of 
printf "%s: Age [%s], size [%d]\n", $farm, ParseDateString("epoch" . $
+s->mtime()), $s->size();

# the above line does the same thing as the next 4 commented lines
#    printf "%s: Age [%s], size[%s]\n", 
#       $farm,
#       DateCalc( "Jan 1, 1970  00:00:00 GMT",$s->mtime() ),
#       $s->size();

in my code right now, both are fairly clean looking... but now I need to do some formatting... all I really want to do is add a space between date and time... but also might want to add some / between the date -> YYYY/MM/DD or something like that... Any suggestions on the easiest way? (if you point me at good documentation that's suitable... my perl books are still packed away at the parent's house, so I won't be able to get at them for another 2-3 days)
