Hi there,

It's frustrating to deal with problems like this, and i'm sure you're pulling your hair out a bit. ;o) But it seems that this is not a Perl problem. Trying to look for a Perl solution may be part of the problem.

From what I gathered from your results of the tests suggested by the monks above, Perl mtime agrees with what you get when you use DIR from the command prompt. It's Windows Explorer itself that disagrees with the DIR command prompt. Take a look at this MSDN article that mentions Windows Explorer has changed the algorithm it uses to display dates, while the command line (and other mtime users presumably) have not.

This is really a question for Microsoft, no?

P.S. This thread has been very confusing to catch up on because your tests are not minimal, there is no need to compare pairs of files, and definitely not 12 pairs. Just pick a file to work with.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
