I don't know about perldoc on windows, maybe it works the same as on
unix, but if you were on unix, I'd suggest you execute the following
commands at the command prompt:

  perldoc -f -x
  perldoc -f stat

These are building blocks.  You'll have to supply the loop. :-)

Or the more general:

  perldoc perlfunc

(Reading the last, while time intensive, is a good way to open ones
eyes even more.)
