    if(-d "/home/user/ptest/$dir")
    {
      ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,              $ati
+me,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks)=stat("/home/user/ptest/".$dir);

If all you want is the `$mtime`, you might as well use this: `my $mtime = (stat("/home/user/ptest/$dir"))[9];` [download] ...at least it's easier to read ;) -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply] [d/l]

Very true :)...I was a little too eager on the reply :), but at least it shows the available info one can get from 'stat'...	[reply]

but at least it shows the available info one can get from 'stat' A simple link to stat would do that too, and probably be even more helpful ;) -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply]
