I have a perl script, I am not able to get output of script in an excel or text file format. Can someone please help me figure out that ?

perl -MPOSIX -e '
    opendir D, "." || die "open .: $!\n";
    for (sort grep {!/^.{1,2}\z/} readdir D) {
if (@s = lstat$) {
printf("%-58s %s %s\n", $_,
map {strftime("%d-%m-%y", localtime $)} ($s[9], $s[8]))
} else {warn "$: $!\n"}
 }'

    Akki, "it's displaying result on screen, I want output in text file". That's called a redirection (>). Asking the author of this script might have been faster. Commented Sep 21, 2018 at 9:58

    Just be careful, as the script appears to read the current directory for input filenames, so saving the output to the current directory may be confusing. Commented Sep 21, 2018 at 15:05
