digitalmars.D.learn - Algorithm to determine if a file was modified today

Hi,
Can someone tell me an algorithm which determines if a file specified by 
its name was modified today?
I suspect that I will need a std.datetime module to work with dates, and 
something from somewhere that would tell me the modification date and 
then convert and compare.
But std.datetime is quite large... Sorry if this looks like laziness. :-)
Thank.

http://dlang.org/phobos/std_file.html#timeLastModified and then you should be able to very easily use the methods etc. whether it was modified on any particular day.
