Re: check for latest file, remove and touch file?

"I haven't succeeded in using the File::Touch function as I get an error message when I try to run the script (can't locate in @inc)...."

A module must be installed to use it. Did you? The error message suggests that you did not. Super Searching for install instructions (for various OSen) will show you the simple steps to install using cpan or a build process.

Here's a sample of Super Search results.

I know it looks like it's not installed or something else is wrong, but this is a shared computer and before I modify stuff it's better to ask the admin, also whenever I tried installing things I needed to be given permissions or sudo rights or something, which isn't doable right now. But I'll ask in a couple of days when the admins are back.	[reply]

See Installing CPAN without root access, Perlbrew. Also see Perltidy (esp. the style key page) regarding your follow-up question to mr_mischief's suggestion about code formatting. HTH The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]
