Yeah, this is a problem with the Finder in general, not specific to this 
code: basically, the Finder can get out of sync with what the file should 
actually look like.

There's a "Nudge" contextual menu item that you can use (free download), but 
from your code, you can also do:

   use Mac::Glue;
   my $finder = new Mac::Glue 'Finder';
   $finder->obj(file => $alias)->update;

Cheers,
