Hi.

I want to pipe output of find UNIX command to perl to get atime for the files. I am not sure I am not getting it. The following correctly gives atime: 

/sasdata=>perl -e '$l=$ARGV[0]; @d=localtime ((stat($l))[8]);printf "%
+4d%02d%02d %s\n",$d[5]+1900,$d[4]+1,$d[3],$l' mhugo01
20090824 mhugo01

But the following does not: 

/sasdata=>find /sasdata/it/development/sasmonitoring/code -type f |per
+l \
hsharm01@sasbsp20> -e 'while (<>) {$l=$_;@d=localtime((stat($l))[8]);p
+rintf "%4d%02d%02d %s",$d[5]+1900,$d[4]+1,$d[3],$l}'
19691231 /sasdata/it/development/sasmonitoring/code/growthmonitor.sas
19691231 /sasdata/it/development/sasmonitoring/code/growthmonitor.sh

Both are doing stat on the variable l and l has correct value in both.
