I am lost.
I have a script that uses Net::FTP to copy files to a farm of webservers. My problem is that the timestamps on the files is being changed to the current time when they are moved out. This makes using time stamp comparison difficult and I end up copying out an entire tree every time instead of just the new files.

Everything is running with Perl 5.6.1 on W2K servers.

Does anyone know how I can maintain the timestamp across Net::FTP?

Thanks,
Ira

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
