    it works for files, but for dirs I get:
    bash-2.04$ls -lu dirname total 0 bash-2.04$

      okay, do ls -lud dirname then. The important question is: does the last accessed time as shown by ls differ from the last access time as shown by -A?
        It looks like it's an operating system error. Something funky with the OS, *not perl*, is going on. I'll update the title & root node to that affect. Thanks for helping me with this problem, ++ !
