file::touch

Touch(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						Touch(3pm)

NAME

       File::Touch - update access and modification timestamps, creating nonexistent files where necessary.

SYNOPSIS

	use File::Touch;
	@file_list = ('one.txt','../two.doc');
	$count = touch(@file_list);

	use File::Touch;
	$reference_file = '/etc/passwd';
	$touch_obj = File::Touch->new(
				      reference => $reference_file,
				      no_create => 1
				      );
	@file_list = ('one.txt','../two.doc');
	$count = $touch_obj->touch(@file_list);

DESCRIPTION

       Here's a list of arguments that can be used with the object-oriented contruction:

       atime_only => [0|1]
	   If nonzero, change only the access time of files. Default is zero.

       mtime_only => [0|1]
	   If nonzero, change only the modification time of files. Default is zero.

       no_create => [0|1]
	   If nonzero, do not create new files. Default is zero.

       reference => $reference_file
	   If defined, use timestamps from this file instead of current time. Default is undefined.

       atime => $time
	   If defined, use this time (in epoch seconds) instead of current time for access time.

       mtime => $time
	   If defined, use this time (in epoch seconds) instead of current time for modification time.

Examples
   Update access and modification times, creating nonexistent files
	use File::Touch;
	my @files = ('one','two','three');
	my $count = touch(@files);
	print "$count files updated
";

   Set access time forward, leave modification time unchanged
	use File::Touch;
	my @files = ('one','two','three');
	my $day = 24*60*60;
	my $time = time() + 30 * $day;
	my $ref = File::Touch->new( atime_only => 1, time => $time );
	my $count = $ref->touch(@files);
	print "$count files updated
";

   Set modification time back, update access time, do not create nonexistent files
	use File::Touch;
	my @files = ('one','two','three');
	my $day = 24*60*60;
	my $time = time() - 30 * $day;
	my $ref = File::Touch->new( mtime => $time, no_create => 1 );
	my $count = $ref->touch(@files);
	print "$count files updated
";
