Time in Perl

[fergmj]

I have a $filedate that displays as Feb 12, 2002, 15:32

I want to find a way to say if $filedate is greater than 48 hours old, then .....

How do I do this?

Thanks

Mindy

$time = localtime(time);
...
...
if ($time < localtime(time)-60*60*48){
...
}

You could also use the file operator -M on the file. -M is how old (in days) a file is since it's last modification.
