Well there is a hard and very public lesson learned. I guess I'm ashamed to say I never thought to look in there. I installed with cpan and unless I have trouble installing something I never do go into the build.. Yeah, that looks like exactly the example I was after. And yes it works. > How do you know that the file was altered "during the sleep"?

There is something else I guess I hadn't thought of. I just did `echo something >> test' repeatedly during the sleep.
