my @attr = stat($filename);

if you look up "Perl stat" on Google, you should be able to map the
index number in the returned array to the content stored in that index.

also, if you are only interested in one piece of info about the file,
like the size, you can do:

my $filesize = (stat($filename))[7];

perldoc perlfunc

is the document to consult when you have a question like this. It lists
all functions by category and alphabetically.

Open the perlfunc documentation and look under the heading "Functions for
filehandles, files, or directories" (hint: how would you "stat" a file
normally). This is not a particularly good forum to be asking people to read
the documentation for you, unless you enjoy being flamed that is.

You should first consult the documentation that comes with Perl. It is
sitting on your hard drive, waiting, patiently, wailing, quietly, for you
to use it just this once:

perldoc -f stat
