Stupid question, but why not use the -p option to cp? This preserves modification timestamp and attributes.

news::autoreply
AutoReply(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation AutoReply(3pm)
NAME
News::AutoReply - derivative of News::Article for generating autoreplies
SYNOPSIS
use News::AutoReply;
$reply = News::AutoReply->new($message);
DESCRIPTION
Like News::Article, but must be given a reference to another article at creation time - initialises To, In-Reply-To, References etc.
correctly as an automatic reply.
USAGE
use News::AutoReply;
Exports nothing.
Constructor
new ( ORIGINAL )
Construct an autoreply to a message, assuming that the Reply-To (if present, otherwise the From) header of "ORIGINAL" is valid.
Returns a new Article object with no body or envelope sender, but with suitable headers.
If an environment variable LOOP is defined, it is used as the contents of an X-Loop header added to the reply (this is useful when
using this code in progs launched from a procmail recipe). Always preserves X-Loop headers in the original.
The reference-folding code could probably be improved.
