@repellent, I haven't really looked at buffering yet. This looks like a pretty interesting article. Thanks.

@viji_india, I wanted $ctime. I initially thought that $ctime was situated at the end of the list but then realized it is not (thanks repellent).

@lakshmananindia, I'm not certain, but check out the perl documentation for 5.8.8. Just observing your output, it looks like the last two items in the list are different from that of 5.010

@linuxer, I have quite a few questions about this so I think I'm going to make another post about this.
