Re^2: Invalid File Handle???

Thanks,...How can I check my windows 2000 desktop to see if it can support atime?

Also, Not sure on how to use this notation $at ||=localtime! can I just use it in my code as

my $at ||= localtime $sb->atime;
[download]

Is the above correct?

or this is correct?

my $at = localtime $sb->atime || 'UNKNOWN';
[download]

Thanks for the enlightenment.

The problem originates from the fact that seemingly, the following code does not return an object: `my $at = localtime $sb->atime;` [download] You could print out the result of `$sb->atime`, or look into the documentation of the module to find out how it behaves on your Windows 2000 desktop. As you are using `$at` as an object later on, you want to synthetize an object for the "unknown" value as well. As I don't know what kind of module you are using that overrides `localtime`, I can't offer much more help here.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Probably not much help, but a confirmation, this script seems to work fine on my Win2K machine. No errors, reasonable results... Tested on Win2K, NTFS and Fat32 file systems, ActivePerl 5.8.6 build 811.	[reply]
