Well, you should have said that. -M is easiest way to compare two
files to see if one is older or newe

Use 'stat' to fetch the create, modify, or inode change time of the
files. Then compare them as numbers:
my ($file1, $file2);
my ($atime1, $mtime1
But -M option gives -M Script start time minus file modification time,
in days.
But I need the difference in seconds between 2 different files and not
with the script.

You'll probably want to use the -M op.
