A simple question but somehow it seems to be confusing the heck out of me!

I tried your code BrowserUK on UNIX and things did not come out well so I switched to Windows XP PRO.

Here is what I did

(Note: I changed your 'file' to 'junk')

1. I created a file with some content

2. After a few minutes i added some more content

3. I ran the timestamp program

I see funny results. No matter the file, i get the same result

. Can you throw some light?

C:\>echo hi > junk
C:\>dir junk

7/31/2005  10:25 PM                 5 junk
              1 File(s)              5 bytes
              0 Dir(s)  15,975,989,248 bytes free

C:\>echo hi2 >> junk

C:\>dir junk

07/31/2005  10:28 PM                11 junk
               1 File(s)             11 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  15,975,989,248 bytes free

C:\>perl timestamp
1 : 16 : 00 : 00

[download]

I am on activstate

C:\>perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

When I run the program on UNIX i get  31 : 18 : 00 : 00 as output

Any thoughts?

thanks
