Hi Bryant,
   I'm taking you up on your offer to help us out with perl questions....

I have a very very beginner's question...I just started playing around with 
perl....I want to get the names of files in a directory whose last update 
timestamp is greater than a certain date.

I tried using the opendir and readdir commands but it just gives me the 
filenames ... is there another command I should be using to get the date 
attributes?

I guess I could write the dir to a file and then read through the file, but 
I figure there must be a simpler way...

thanks,
Eleanor
