The "random.txt" file resides in the same folder as the function call.
-------------------RESULT------------------------------
$device is :
$ino is :
$mode is :
$nlink is :
$uid is :
-------------------SCRIPT-----------------------------

open (INFILE, "random.txt&quot

or die ("error&quot

;

($device,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size, $atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks) = stat(random.txt);

close INFILE;
print('$device is :'.$device."\n&quot

;
print('$ino is :'.$ino ."\n&quot

;
print('$mode is :'.$mode."\n&quot

;
print('$nlink is :'.$nlink."\n&quot

;
print('$uid is :'.$uid."\n&quot

Try this.... put the argument to stat in quotes.

($device,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks) = stat("./random.txt&quot

;

Also, I think you are confused with the [red]open...stat....close[/red] series of operations. You do not need to do an open to do the stat. And, opening the file will cause changes in the info you get back from stat.
