My vote for weirdest feature of Perl is reset.
dates produced by -M, -C and -A are useful for things like "delete all *.tmp files more than 5 days old" etc.
And for command line utilities you are making your decision at the time of invocation, $^T, so that is the important time. These op's must have been a grand convenience for find2perl. I agree these are a strange and odd convenience feature but given the early mission of Perl to be a better shell/awk/sed I don't find it weird.
Be well,
rir
