[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]
from my Camel book....
-M Age of file (at startup) in days since modification
-A Age of file (at startup) in days since last access
-C Age of file (at startup) in days since inode change
?!! in days? That's probably no help.
Hmmmm.
To get seconds, looks like you need to use the stat()
function....File::stat will make it even easier

In the shell I can easily compare the dates of two files:
$ if [ .y2log -nt .y2log-1 ]; then
echo .y2log is newer than .ylog-1
else
echo .y2log is older than .ylog-1
fi
.y2log is newer than .ylog-1
$
So what is the similar perl idiom for comparing file dates?
I have to compare 166,000 (+) pairs of files and I'd rather
do it with perl. Particularly since I open the directory
and read the filenames into a hash which turns out to be
wicked-fast for processing the file names.
Thanks,
Eric
