Touch - touch a file

Version 0.01_01

    use Touch;

    my $self = "somefile";
    touch($myself)  # file created or atime and mtime modified
       or die "touch() failed: $!";

touch EXPR

Updates the access and modification times of the file indicated by EXPR to the current time.

There are a lot of additional options that surely would be nice to have. They include:

Ability to touch based on a FILEHANDLE or a DIRHANDLE on systems with the futimes() C library function.

Ability to set just access or modification times.

Ability to indicate the time and date to use.

Ability to set times based on another existing file, filehandle, or dirhandle.

Ability to set times to the nanosecond level on system that support it.
