Does this help you?  Should be pretty portable, too.


class FileDesc
  def initialize(location, name)
    @location, @name, @path = location, name, File.join(location, name)
    @stat = File.stat(@path)
  end
  attr_reader :location, :name, :path, :stat

  def method_missing(method_id, *args, &block)
    if @stat.respond_to? method_id
      @stat.send(method_id, *args, &block)
    else
      super
    end
  end

  def to_s
    @path
  end
end

class XDir
  def XDir.entries(dir)
    dir = File.expand_path(dir)
    Dir.entries(dir).collect {|name| FileDesc.new(dir, name)}
  end
end

XDir.entries('.').each do |file|
  puts "#{file.path}\t#{file.ctime}\t#{file.ino}"
end
