    BTW, perldoc is wrong, it's not "script start time", it's $^T as shown by the following: 

    #!/usr/bin/perl -l

# https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1230174

use strict;
use warnings;
use Path::Tiny;

my $file = 'tmp.1230174';

sleep 2;
path($file)->spew("$file\n");
sleep 2;

print -M $file;
$^T = time;
print -M $file;

    So you can play games with "file age" if you want to.
