Hi there, I decided that it would be a good idea to 'touch' the file
immediately after creating it and changing the modified date to the current
date, however its just not working for me.
change file permissions and 'touch' the file:
system("chmod 777 "filepath/filename");
system(touch -m "filepath/filename");
attempt to read back the new modified date.
open(HANDLE, $FILE);
my $date_modified = localtime( (stat HANDLE)[9] );
Any ideas why this isn't working?
Cheers in advance for anything.

Hi all, I'm trying to get the date & time a file was created on the

It looks as if you've found the correct FM. There are three timestamps
(on most Unix-like filesystems, at least), but none of them is the
creation time. So, you can't get what you're asking for; sorry.
If you really need to know a file's creation time, the second thing to
do is to keep that information on file somewhere, probably at the time
you create the file. The first thing to do is to decide exactly what
you mean by "creating" a file. Does making a copy count? If you
replace a file with a backup copy, does it now have the timestamp of
the backup? If you replace the hard drive on the server, do all the
files have new creation times? If I make a new document based upon a
template created in 1996, when was the new document created? If I make
a new template based upon that template, does it have a different
creation date than if I merely edit the template? If I upload a file
to your server, what creation date does it get? Are we talking about
the creation of the file, or the creation of the data it contains? Are
we talking about the creation of the data, or the publication of the
data? What is the creation timestamp actually going to be used for,
and will it be useful for that purpose? Be precise, be consistent,
show your work, and continue on the reverse side of the paper if
necessary.
Good luck with it!
