well, I know that :) I'm not saying that $r->mtime produces a runtime error
(which would happen if I didn't use() Apache::File), but that it returns Jan
1, 1970 for anything that isn't handled by the default Apache handler...
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Apache::File;
use Apache::Util qw(ht_time);
my $r = shift;
$r->send_http_header('text/plain');
print ht_time($r->mtime), "\n";
print ht_time((stat $r->finfo)[9]), "\n";
in my mind, at least, those two calls ought to be the same. if you insert a
call to $r->update_mtime all is ok.
but, it would seem that if r->mtime is the modification time of the
requested file, r->mtime ought to be set when Apache stats the file and
inserts the other finfo stuff.
but I'll exchange my logic for proof that not setting mtime is intentional
:)
