Another useful perl tool

This package defines some useful functions on the formatting of "stat"
values.

It defines one main'function:

  &lsinfo($filename)

which returns a string like

  "-rw-r--r--   1 jv       bsp         3272 Dec  8 22:01 lsinfo.pl"

Other useful entry points are:

  &lsinfo'fmt_time(time)	-> "Nov 30 16:30"
  &lsinfo'fmt_mode(0755)	-> "-rwx-rx-rx-"
  &lsinfo'fmt_uid($<)		-> user-name
  &lsinfo'fmt_gid($()		-> group-name

The demo program "ll" is just fun to have.

Don't call this "ls in perl", or you'll start another perl vs.
whatever war :-) .

This package defines some useful functions on the formatting of "stat"

which returns an "ls -l" compatible string for the given file.

Other useful entry points are:
