in thread Invalid File Handle???

I have tried $x = $x instead of $x =||....Nothing happened.

I am using Time ::localtime

I have dumped ctime, atime, mtime,...did not show anything different (i.e it crashes in exat area where the script does)!!!

Will I still get help from the OPEN SOURCE community on PerlMOnks???????????

        I have tried $x = $x instead of $x =||....Nothing happened.

    right -- cause they're effectively the same, except one is more confusing to see

       I have dumped ctime, atime, mtime,...did not show anything different (i.e it crashes in exat area where the script does)!!!

    what is the exact (read: copy past for us please) output if you add this:
    use Data::Dumper; print Dumper $sb; print Dumper $ct; print Dumper $mt; print Dumper $at;

    OK,....I have found out why,...Its all because of wondeful Microsoft.

    It seems that - well according to M$ - some of our .doc and .xls files were created in the year 1850, 1745 and others in the sixteenth century!!! very impressive isn't it? Anyway, a Microsoft rep has been summoned to come here at once and explain as to why is this….hehehehehe

    I am glad that yet again with the use of Perl and the help of PerlMonks I have managed to uncover another outrage from M$... I have been gloating all day about Perl and I love it. :-D

    VIVA PERLMONKS,…here here.

    BTW : This is my final code with error checks of some sort.
    use strict; use File::Find; use File::stat; use File::Spec; use Time::localtime; system("cls"); my $start_time = ctime(); print "\nStart Time: $start_time\n\n"; print "Full Path,Size (Byte),Created,Modified,Accessed,File Name,Type\ +n"; find(\&stat_files, @ARGV); sub stat_files { return unless -f; my $sb = stat ($File::Find::name); my $size = $sb->size; my $ct = localtime $sb->ctime; my $mt = localtime $sb->mtime; my $at = localtime $sb->atime; my $creation_time; my $modified_time; my $accessed_time; eval {$creation_time = $ct->mday()."/".($ct->mon()+1)."/".(($ct->y +ear)+1900);}; $creation_time = '-' if $@; undef $@; eval {$modified_time = $mt->mday()."/".($mt->mon()+1)."/".(($mt->y +ear)+1900);}; $modified_time = '-' if $@; undef $@; eval {$accessed_time = $at->mday()."/". ($at->mon()+1)."/".(($at-> +year)+1900);}; $accessed_time = '-' if $@; undef $@; my ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath($File::Fin +d::name); my $ext = $file; $ext =~ s/.+\.(.+)$//; $File::Find::name =~ tr/,/-/; print "$File::Find::name,$size,$creation_time,$modified_time,$acce +ssed_time,$file,$1\n"; } my $end_time = ctime(); print "\nEnd Time: $end_time\n";
    Thanks a lot guys
