Hi Andrew,
I am not sure what Windows is like nowadays, but I believe you are
referring to the archive bit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive_bit
I'm not sure if there is something else on CPAN that is better than
this, but a search for "archive bit" turns up this package as one of the
top hits:
http://search.cpan.org/~yves/Win32API-File-0.1001/File.pm
Seems like the "GetFileAttributes" function is what you are looking for...

Is it possible to write a script that will tell me whether a file has
certain properties. I am using a commercial program for backing up
software. Each file has an associated property that indicates whether
it is to be backed up or whether it is backed up or nothing at all. I
would like to write a perl script that would generate a report so I
know the backup status.
This is a Windows based program.
