Still have questions, but that at least tells me the reasoning behind the answer
I can probably write it using the example posted, I'll write back when I have questions.
Basically we readdir then use stat to be able to print the file size ($size) and date ($mtime). $filename gives me the file's name?
Would something like this be in the right direction?
use File::stat;
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size, $atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks) = stat($filename);
then use $filename, $mtime, and $size for the data I'm looking for?
