PERL: Trying to get the unix timestamp using File::stat.

1 New Member
Greetings all, great forum, this is my first post.

Recently trying to write a script that is designed to move files based on timestamps. I am fairly new to Perl, so please bare with me. I have written a short script that should iterate through all files in the current directory and output unix epoch time. The script in it's entirety is posted below:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. #!/usr/bin/perl
  2.  
  3. use warnings;
  4. use strict;
  5. use Cwd;
  6. use File::Find;
  7. use File::Path;
  8. use File::stat;
  9. use Time::Local;
  10.  
  11.         my $sourceDir = getcwd;
  12.  
  13.         opendir DIR, $sourceDir or die "cannot open dir $sourceDir: $!";
  14.         print "Source Dir: $sourceDir\n";
  15.         my @file = readdir DIR;
  16.         closedir DIR;
  17.         print "Attempting to read files.\n\n";
  18.         chdir($sourceDir);
  19.  
  20.    foreach my $file (@file)
  21.    {
  22.         print "file in loop: $file.\n";
  23.         my $unixT = (stat($file))[9];
  24.         print "Attempting to print stat: $unixT \n";
  25.    }
  26.  
BTW, thanks in advance :)

Is there a way to preserve the labels when converting Access dataset into Stata format using Stat/Transfer? The labels are built-in with look-up (or drop-down menu) within Access. But after conversion, the labels are all lost. Thanks a lot.

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be compiled with threads. Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this? Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start happening.

I just upgraded from Python 2.4.2 to Python 2.5.1 and have found some unexpected behavior that appears to be a bug in the os.stat module. My OS is Windows XP SP2 + all updates. I have several programs that have worked flawlessly on all previous Python versions for years and they are now producing incorrect results in the code that uses os.stat. Searching through the 2.5.1 release notes I found the following:
