________________________________________________________________________________ Win32::UTCFileTime, Version 1.55 ________________________________________________________________________________ NAME Win32::UTCFileTime - Get/set UTC file times with stat/utime on Win32 SYNOPSIS # Override built-in stat()/lstat()/utime() within current package only: use Win32::UTCFileTime qw(:DEFAULT $ErrStr); @stats = stat $file or die "stat() failed: $ErrStr\n"; $now = time; utime $now, $now, $file; # Or, override built-in stat()/lstat()/utime() within all packages: use Win32::UTCFileTime qw(:globally); ... # Use an alternative implementation of stat() instead: use Win32::UTCFileTime qw(alt_stat $ErrStr); @stats = alt_stat($file) or die "alt_stat() failed: $ErrStr\n"; DESCRIPTION This module provides replacements for Perl's built-in stat() and utime() functions that respectively get and set "correct" UTC file times instead of the erroneous values read and written by Microsoft's implementation of stat(2) and utime(2), which Perl's built-in functions inherit on Win32 when built with the Microsoft C library.
