I'm trying to find out how to determine the date and/or time that a file was 
created in a simple procedure.  I have heard about a few different libraries 
but the examples I have found haven't been very useful.

The basic purpose I want to do is a simple footer provided by a package 
module through CGI to inform users of the latest update to the code based on 
the URL.  Something simple saying "Version x.xx, Last Modified MM/DD/YYYY." 
which would automatically get the file modified timestamp.

I'd prefer to have, if possible, a simple scalar variable to store the 
date...for example:

$modtime = filemoddate_func(filename.cgi);

If anyone can help me with the libraries I need to use for this (if any 
special), and a code snippet if possible, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Vance
