You can get the last modified time of a file using stat. But I don't know how you expect to get it using a program that is not running.

You've obviously never read any of Win's other gems . . .

stat ought to work. $0 should provide the argument for the current running program. If that doesn't work, look at perlport and perlwin32 to see what changes you need.

For some other program, just use its path/filename as argument to stat.

$modifytime = (stat($filename))[9];
print $modifytime;
