utime
utime atime, mtime, files
Changes the access time
(atime) and modification time
(mtime) on each file in a list of
files. The first two elements must be
the numerical access and modification
times, in that order. The function returns the number of files
successfully changed. The inode change time of each file is set to
the current time. Here’s an example of a utime command:
#!/usr/bin/perl $now = time; utime $now, $now, @ARGV;
To read the times from existing files, use stat.
