File age

I am in the process of writing a software update management script kit.
Part of this process requires me to calculate the age of a file. There
are no tools in any of the shells I can find and the Perl modules to do
this are also absent from OSX.2 and OSX.3 from what I can gather. I am
open to suggestions on the best way to accomplish this. Obviously since
I am posting to an Applescript list I expect suggestions for doing it
with Applescript, but anything would be helpful. Date math seems to be
a real pain in general. I hesitate to install the Perl modules because
this script kit needs to function on a vanilla OSX install.

Totally unrelated question...

I got a message on this list today from email@hidden today. The
mail header appears in Mail.app with an icon where you might expect to
see his picture. I can find nothing in the raw message source to
explain this, and he is not in my address book. I love a mystery ;-)



From a despair.com calendar my good friend gives me every year...

A few harmless flakes working together can
unleash an avalanche of destruction.
