I pass in a directory and do a stat on it. The commented out lines were returning incorrect values so I started to try and print the array. That was when I saw it showed 0. This is on Windows XP if that makes a difference. 
sub DirCheck{
    my $_dir = $_[0];
    print "Directory: $_dir\n";
    opendir (DIR, "$_dir") or die "Directory $_dir failed to open: $!"
+;
    my @_dirStat = stat DIR;
    closedir (DIR);
    print "Meow\n";
    print "DirStat: " . @_dirStat . "\n";
    foreach $i (@_dirStat){
        print "Item: $i\n";
    }
    #my $_time = ctime($_dirStat[9]);
    #print "Last Modified Time for $_dir: $_time\n";
}
