Your going to love this.

Below is a result files from the examination of 12 files (base directory) with a similar file in a different (staging) directory. I ran this after I put your diagnostic suggestion in. The code is basically the same.

I was excited because all the 1st and 2nd dates were different. However all the 2nd date time stamps are wrong. The date portion is right on one. I don't know were it got the 2nd dates. They make no sense.

I'm not doing the copy in these tests, just examining the dates.

When I reran this test, the file dates of each of the pairs were the same again. This is strange.

Note: All first date time stamps are right.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
