Re^3: Checking Age of Files

It returns a real (as opposed to integer) number of days, so -M * 24 > 2 should do fine for the OP if he's ok with being off by an hour around DST changes.

That is an extremely useful piece of information which is not at all obvious to a (below-)average Perl user, such as myself. I interpreted "days" to mean that I should not expect it to resolve fractional days, or less than a day. But, it sounds like the actual resolution might be seconds. Is this explicitly mentioned anywhere in the documentation? If not, I think it would be a valuable addition to the -M doc. It would be great if you transferred your knowledge to a patch.	[reply]
