in thread Perl one liner and stat function

Thanks for the help ikegami -- for all the variations on the solution. It's amazing how many different ways one can approach this once you have such a great handle on the deep inner workings of the language... not sure how you "PerlMonks" do it.. it's been tough for me.

    By example :) perldoc -f stat 
    use File::stat;
$sb = stat($filename);
printf "File is %s, size is %s, perm %04o, mtime %s\n",
    $filename, $sb->size, $sb->mode & 07777,
    scalar localtime $sb->mtime;
