Thanks for the tip. It's easy to miss information like this when you're
just beginning a new thing like this. I've done a bit more digging and the
output of
perldoc per

Significantly, this would get you started too:
perldoc -q timestamp
Point being, there's a grep (regex based search)
of the perl doc a few seconds away...
Thanks Paul and Gary
perldoc -f stat gave me all the info I needed.
cheers

It should be the same as anywhere else. =o)
Try -M $file (which is age in days as of when the script started), or
maybe @x=stat($
Here's my script for setting the mdate/cdate for one file to match
another.
Specifically, look at perldoc -f stat.
!/usr/bin/perl -w
unless ( $ARGV[1]) {
print STDERR "utime: usage - utime file1 file2\n";
print STDERR "utime: modifies the accessed and modified dates of
file2 to match\n"
