Doubtful, but it should be trivial using readdir in a list context and using 'sort' with 'stat'. perldoc -f sort perldoc -f stat perldoc -q sort The bigger question is "are you sure you want to?" the "creation time" on most OSes doesn't actually mean anything or exist at all. There is the 'ctime' which is an inode change time which means even less to most Perl programs. Are you positive your OS supports a creation time? What are you really trying to do? http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
