I am trying to get the timestamp of files from a directory

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; #use Nexius::CM::Utils; #use Getopt::Long; #use Data::Dumper; #use Switch; use File::stat; use Time::localtime; use POSIX; #use Time::localtime; #$tm = localtime; my $file1 =shift; opendir(DIR,"./tmp"); my @dir1=grep { !/^\.+$/ } readdir(DIR); closedir(DIR); #$file_count = 0; my $date1=0; foreach $file1 (@dir1) { my $latest = POSIX::strftime("%Y%m%d", localtime( ( stat $file1 )[9] ) ); $date1 = $latest if($latest && $date1 < $latest); $date1 =~ /(\d\d\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)/; print "Latest update for Nortel GSM is: $2/$3/$1\n"; }
<error> cm_southtr3@NEX-ETL-22 ash_perl$ perl read_5.pl Prototype mismatch: sub main::ctime (;$) vs none at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/Exporter.pm line 65. at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/POSIX.pm line 19 Usage: POSIX::strftime(fmt, sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, wday = -1, yday = -1, isdst = -1) at read_5.pl line 27. </error> <SOLN> If any better program can be created? </SOLN>
