#^ PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
#^ -------------------
#^ This program prints the modification times and names of files.
#^ It uses the following format:  inodetime.pl filename
#^ It will accept:  inodetime.pl filename1 filename2 filename3
#^                  inodetime.pl /tmp/file*
#^ The format of the output is: YYYYMMDDhhmmss filename
#^ example:
#^           $ inodetime.pl /tmp/t*
#^           19961115105425 /tmp/test.sql
