If you're looking for a close replacement for "touch", try:

perldoc -f utime

"Changes the access and modification times on each file of a list of
files."

Common misconception. ctime is "inode change time". There is no creation
time in Unix. See your stat(2) manpage for more info.

Change ctime of a file ?

[Jeff Westman]

Is it possible to change the 'create timestamp' (ctime) of a file, and
if so, how?  This would be the perl equivalent of Unix' "touch"
command.


Thanks in advance!
