Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users how to get timestamp of a file in a perl script Post 302180970 by ShawnMilo on Tuesday 1st of April 2008 03:47:05 PM

I apologize for the rudeness of my comment. I know that I sometimes come off more harshly than I mean to, and I also thought that my first post was funny.

But in all seriousness, you don't seem to understand some very basic things, and it wouldn't really help you if we gave you the answers because you wouldn't be able to apply them. Also, you haven't even said what you're trying to accomplish. That makes it nearly impossible for anyone to help you anyway.

If you get anything even half-working, post it and someone may be able to help you fix it. But, as I said, it doesn't appear that you know enough Perl (or maybe programming in general) to be making this attempt without further study.
