Re: (tye)Re: Preserving "last modified" time stamp when copying files with File::Copy

Thanks. There is no problem with the system, as I haven't quite finished writing it yet. The question is more of a preventive measure. All the systems were configured at the same time, with the same software, and as far as I know, the same hardware. Because of this, the resolution shouldn't be a problem. (Of course, you never know with Windows). This just seems the easiest, least load intensive way to compare the two files, though if anyone has any other ways of checking that are more exact and about the same load, I would love to hear them.

You could also have a look at Digest::MD5. However, it's resource consuming compared to the -M function, of course. The module is discussed in How do I verify that a copied file's contents did not corrupt/modify?. You might wanna have a peek... Cheers, Jeroen "We are not alone"(FZ)	[reply]
