Re: Re: How do you modify the creation date of a folder?

What happened was through copying a disk drive to another drive, the folders it created on the new drive to house the info from the other drive had an updated creation time. I'm looking to try to match the original time on the old drive with the time on the new drive. But if I can't modify the date of the new folders, I'll have to come up with an alternative solution. The reason being is that our perl scripts depend on the creation time of folders in a certain directory. Thanks for your help anyways. Scott

The correct solution seems to be to change the perl scripts to not reily (solely) on the ctime of the folders, not to change the ctime of the folders. Thanks, James Mastros, Just Another Perl Initate	[reply]
