Re: Perl Breakdown

hello to everybody

the ls behaviour regarding date information is POSIXly correct. after 6 months the date is displayed in a different way.only linux user have an optional parameter to change the timeformat for all displayed items.

the perl script - for purist
" scalar localtime stat \"${1}\" [9] " would do the job as well - is great. teaching perl myself and this date problem is a known issue on unixes.

so this or similar scripts are used in other places as well.

apologies for any typos overlooked

Interesting utility, though you need to navigate to the CVS browser to actually get the file.
