I wasn't sure if this is can be considered as a bug, but utime suggests:

               If the first two elements of the list are "undef", then the
               utime(2) function in the C library will be called with a null
               second argument.  On most systems, this will set the file's
               access and modification times to the current time.  (i.e.
               equivalent to the example above.)

                   utime undef, undef, @ARGV;

% perl-blead -lwe 'utime undef, undef, "/tmp/test"'
Use of uninitialized value in utime at -e line 1.
Use of uninitialized value in utime at -e line 1.

It does the job right, but what about the warnings? under:

  use warnings FATAL => 'all';

that technique can't be used. So I have to use:

% perl-blead -lwe '$t=time; utime $t, $t, "/tmp/test"'

Should utime's implementation accept undefs without generating warnings?
