Thanks brigmar, your piece is cool! -
how to find a file's age with respect to current time
Thank you all for your inputs. I went stat() and solved my problem: # get cur time `touch curtime` my $curtime = (stat("curtime"))[9]; unlink "curtime"; # find file age if (($curtime - (stat($thefile))[9]) > AGE) { # process $thefile } -
how to find a file's age with respect to current time
Hi, I've used the -M operator to find a file's age in days. However, -M returns the age with respect to the program start time. Now that I plan to run my program as a daemon, I need to find a file's age wrt the *current* time. Any body out there knows how I can do that? Thanks & regards, -

Filtering a file to remove certain hex codes
Hi, I receive XML files to extract data from. Some times the files come with invalid XML characters such as 0x3, which caused the XML parser (written in Java) to fail. I'm thinking of a Perl preprocessor to remove the invalid chars. Any body has any idea how this can be done in Perl? Thanks,
