Here is what ls -l returns for one of my files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 jeffp dialup 1233 Jul 30 18:30 resume.txt
Breaking that into pieces, we have:
  1. file type and permissions
  2. number of links to file
  3. owner of file
  4. group of owner of file
  5. size in bytes
  6. last modified date
  7. name of file
All these -- except for the filename, which you already have -- can be extracted from stat():
use POSIX 'strftime'; my ($perm, $links, $uid, $gid, $size, $lmod) = (stat $file)[2,3,4,5,7,9] my $user = getpwuid($uid); my $group = getgrgid($gid); my $date = strftime("%b %e %R", localtime($lmod));
You actually need to modify that a tiny bit, in case the file was modified more than a year ago; but that's an academic exercise.
