The suggestion from rangarasan will be fine if you are searching for Modify Time. This can get a bit confusing though as the file may have been created some time ago, but modified today.

I don't think that there is a simple way to get creation time. You could look at the directory and that will have a timestamp when any file is created or deleted, but you won't know which. Perhaps you would have to write an audit type job to list the files off periodically and see what changes when.

Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap(3pm)

NAME
Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap - wrapper for GdkKeymap HIERARCHY
Glib::Object +----Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap METHODS
modifiertype = $keymap->add_virtual_modifiers ($state) o $state (Gtk2::Gdk::ModifierType) Since: gtk+ 2.20 boolean = $keymap->get_caps_lock_state Since: gtk+ 2.16 keymap = Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap->get_default direction = $keymap->get_direction ({ key1, keyval1 }, { ... }) = $keymap->get_entries_for_keycode (hardware_keycode) o $hardware_keycode (integer) Returns a list of hash references, each with two keys: "key" pointing to a GdkKeymapKey and "keyval" pointing to the corresponding key value. keys = $keymap->get_entries_for_keyval (keyval) o $keyval (integer) Returns a list of GdkKeymapKeys. Obtains a list of keycode/group/level combinations that will generate $keyval. Groups and levels are two kinds of keyboard mode; in general, the level determines whether the top or bottom symbol on a key is used, and the group determines whether the left or right symbol is used. On US keyboards, the shift key changes the keyboard level, and there are no groups. A group switch key might convert a keyboard between Hebrew to English modes, for example. Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Key contains a group field that indicates the active keyboard group. The level is computed from the modifier mask. keymap = Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap->get_for_display ($display) o $display (Gtk2::Gdk::Display) Since: gtk+ 2.2 boolean = $keymap->have_bidi_layouts Since: gtk+ 2.12 integer = $keymap->lookup_key ($key) o $key (scalar) (bool, new_state) = $keymap->map_virtual_modifiers (keymap, state) o $state (Gtk2::Gdk::ModifierType) Since: gtk+ 2.20 (keyval, effective_group, level, consumed_modifiers) = $keymap->translate_keyboard_state (hardware_keycode, state, group) o $hardware_keycode (integer) o $state (Gtk2::Gdk::ModifierType) o $group (integer) SIGNALS
