Hello, I am a beginner to Perl but I wrote some code to ftp files from an ftp server to the local machine. I did this using the Win32::Internet module. As shown below, I use the List method to get the list of files in a folder on the FTP server. Then I use the mtime property to find out when the file was modified last. 
@files = $ftp->List($sFileNamePattern, 3);
foreach my $file (@files)
{
  if (CheckDTS($file->{'mtime'}) == 1)
  {
       push(@aGoodFiles, $file);
  }
}

The date/time stamp returned is fine except the seconds are always 00. I have a different files on the FTP server with different second values but the mtime property is always 00. It like the seconds are getting dropped. Has anyone ever heard of this? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks.
