Newbie needs some help w/ files/dates ...

| I'm new to this list. ;-)
About 5 years ago I worked my way to the O'Reilly Perl for Win32 book,
but haven't used it since. I have a need to write a Perl app that will
check the timestamps of several known files in known locations. If the
date/time of any of the files is not the current date, send email to a
known list of recipients.
Can anyone get me started on how to check the date/time stamp of a file
and compare it to the current day?
Thanks very much in advance!

Fire up your command shell and run:
perldoc -f -M
perldoc -f localtime
perldoc -f time
