About Stat built in function in Perl

[022267]

Hi, folks,

It has no problem to use "stat" function to retrieve the modified date of a file, which is getten from a remote server by mapping that server to the local machine. However, after I use the "NET::FTP->new" instead of Mapping, it did not work. Here is an example:
my $m_date = ((stat($remote_file))[9]);
print "$m_date\n";

during the run, there was no response to this "print" statement.


Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
Thanks.
