Re^2: Help using self-made but very simple Module

Got me farther, had 2 more error messages pop up, fixed them and now stuck on this one.

Can't call method "mtime" without a package or object reference at Modules/ScriptUpdate.pm line 2

This works if i use it as a sub_routine. I added the File::stat lib but still get the error.

Here the code that line references.

my $mtime = stat($filename)->mtime;

This is in the package. Do I need to bless something? Reading up on bless now but that's all new to me.

You'd need to `use File::stat` in the package, as by-name stat fields are not core Perl syntax. Alternatively, simply write `(stat $filename)[9]`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
