Re: File test to see creation time rather than last modified timeby kennethk (Abbot) |

This is platform dependent. On M$, you can use stat but not on Mac or *NIX. *NIX does not store the information at all (see the stat(2) man pages). Details on implementation of the Perl function are in perlport. Your best bet if you are not on M$ is using utime to reset the modification time, as per almut's comment.
