in reply to Missing files & File::Find.pm

Some of the file names encountered on the drive frankly bizarre!

Since you are talking Microsoft Windows, are you sure you don't have a virus on that server?

    It's a production server and I/we would be horified if there were a virus, we update McAfee daily.

    When I use IE I can eventually drill down and find a valid file / document. Some of the files are over 10 years old. I encountered one file where the perl $Inode->mtime was -1. There are also lots of files where IE itself tells you the file was last touched in year 2048. Sounds odd now that you have mentioned virus'es, scary!

    As far I am aware, not being a Windows person/specialist, we have no viruses on that server.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Regards,
