Re^2: getting system time

I need to use

use Time::localtime;
[download]

because later in the script, I am using

$dateModified = ctime($attrs->mtime);
[download]

to get the timestamp of a file.

And if don't have the 'use Time' defined, then I get a 'Undefined subroutine &main::ctime called' error

So not just a question of If it hurts don't do it

Try not importing stuff from the module, i.e. `use Time::localtime (); # note the parentheses` [download] and then call the function fully qualified `$dateModified = Time::localtime::ctime($attrs->mtime);` [download] (Or import only `ctime`, which should not clash.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
