jhs3 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have been searching the archives and found a few similar questions...and answers. But, maybe some good monk can help me with this.
I want to be able to look at directory (a program source directory) and list the files with a changed date within a calendar month. I will tell the script which month and which directory. I then need to add the resulting file to a text file, checking if I had already put the file there for the same date: I would need to run the script daily, so the same file would likely already be in the text file. But, if a program source file has changed more than once within the month, I'd want to add another entry in the text file.
The code needs to work in both a Unix (HP / ksh) and Windows NT environment.
FYI: this is something being foist on me because of Sarbane-Oxley requirements. So this sort of search may already being used by someone else that is plagued by SOX.
(funny how SOX is a 4-letter word...)
