Files
Hmm how/where are file permissions and last modified times stored?

I've often wondered.

Are you talking about any paticular operating system or kernal inperticular? What system are you on?

On a *ix system the information often resides in a satic inode on the disk.

So how can you transfer files from one server to another keeping permissions.

If you bind by your theory then maybe you should log out and delete your account ;-)

I have no idea where that stuff is stored, but you can access it with the Perl stat() funtion. Look in perlfunc about 3/4 the way down.

Yep I know about stat (although it craps out on Windows)....just always wondered where it was all stored. I always thought it was kept somewhere in the file itself...hmm

Re: [RedRum] Files In reply to
huh... well I'm on win2k and it works just fine for me...

I ran this:
Code:
my $file = "Globals.pm";
print "$_\n", foreach (stat($file));

and got this:
Code:
2
0
33206
1
0
0
2
693
1010725200
1010695774
1010656818

perhaps you are doing @{stat($file)}?
