utime function documented in utime. By way of example, here's a little program that copies the read and write
times from its first argument to all the rest of them.
if (@ARGV < 2) {
die "usage: cptimes timestamp_file other_files ...\n";
}
$timestamp = shift;
($atime, $mtime) = (stat($timestamp))[8,9];
utime $atime, $mtime, @ARGV;
Error checking is left as an exercise for the reader.
Note that utime currently doesn't work correctly with Win95/NT ports.
A bug has been reported. Check it carefully before using it on those platforms.
