here is my code:
use File::Find;
find (\&wanted, "./categories/");

sub wanted {

$m = -M "$File::Find::name";
print "M = $m <br>";

print<<ENDHTML
$File::Find::name<br><br>

ENDHTML

 if (-M $File::Find::name >= 7){
 unlink $File::Find::name;
 }
}
# End

[download]
it prints the filname ok, but never prints $m

sometimes i use File::Find in a temporary script in my home directory, and it never finds the date for alot of files.. it will find a date for the file "." and other weird things like that... but i can never get everything to work fine.
anyone have any idea?
