Win32::UTCFileTime version 1.20
===============================

NAME

    Win32::UTCFileTime - Get/set UTC file times with stat/utime on Win32

SYNOPSIS

    # Override built-in stat()/lstat()/utime() within current package only:
    use Win32::UTCFileTime;
    @stats = stat $file or die "stat() failed: $^E\n";
    $now = time;
    utime $now, $now, $file;

    # Or, override built-in stat()/lstat()/utime() within all packages:
    use Win32::UTCFileTime qw(:globally);
    ...

    # Use an alternative implementation of stat() instead:
    use Win32::UTCFileTime qw(alt_stat);
    @stats = alt_stat($file) or die "alt_stat() failed: $^E\n";

DESCRIPTION

    This module provides replacements for Perl's built-in stat() and utime()
    functions which respectively get and set "correct" UTC file times, instead
    of the erroneous values read and written by Microsoft's implementation of
    stat(2) and utime(2) which Perl's built-in functions inherit on Win32 when
    built with the Microsoft C library.

INSTALLATION

    To install this module type the following:

        perl Makefile.PL
        nmake
        nmake test
        nmake install

DEPENDENCIES

    There are no non-standard modules required by this module.

    This module is only applicable on Microsoft Windows platforms when using a
    Perl built using Microsoft Visual C since other C build environments do not
    (presumably) suffer the Microsoft-specific behaviour which this module
    provides corrections to.
