hey monks, I have a problem I'm writing some code to copy a a file from a floppy to a directory on the c drive named c:\temp_ (file creation date in the 09_16_2005 format e.g. c:\temp_09_16_2005. So I wrote a script that will get the modify access and creation date on a specified file but it`s a month early I found the majority of the code online at http://www.infocopter.com/perl_corner/date-time.htm I would be greatful for any help the code is below 
 my ($atime, $mtime, $ctime) = (stat("c:\SPTHistory1.txt"))[8..10];

printf qq~
        Accessed: %s
        Modified: %s
        Created: %s
~,
        get_real_time($atime),
        get_real_time($mtime),
        get_real_time($ctime);

sub get_real_time ($) {
        my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mon,$mday,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = gmt
+ime $_[0];
        $year += 1900;
        return "$year\_$mday\_$mon";
}
