- (I suspect this is only marginally a perl question) I'm writing a script to
- list archived messages along with some additional notes. I want to display
- the file's creation date (-C?) but the file's age isn't adequate here. I
- need either a better way to extract this information or a "12.34 days from
- now was sometime on 3 Dec" routine. The final table (excluding formatting)
- is something like this:
- file_name file_size file_created message_subject
- with some additional comments about the table.
-
- I looked at ctime.pl but that works forward from a reference date.
-
- Replies directly to rick@ssg.com will be appreciated as I'm a little pushed
- for time on this puppy. I'll summarize replies here.
