Getting File Size?
I know that there has to be a way to find the size of the file, but I can't seem to find it in any of my books. Let me know if you know how I can accomplish this.
Also is there anyway to find out the date modified, date created, and the rest of that mumbo-jumbo?
Thanx

I have Perl and CGI for the world wide web(Visual Quickstart) and I have Perl Core Language.
I am probabley looking in the wrong place. Any idea what it would be under?

you can do this with SSI, but I can't remember the commands.
I think it was something like:

Unfortunately, I can't use SSI in conjunction with perl. Well inside of the perl script. So SSI wouldn't help.
I think I found out what does it, just can't figure out how to use it. Go figure.
Something like :
($size) = stat($file);
print "$size";
But it isn't working. I don't know, I've never used syntax like that.
