Question by Michael R: How can I use Perl’s Copy package to preserve timestamps of the original file to be copied?
I’m using openSuse Linux with the standard Perl packages. I need to use Perl’s copy rather than UNIX’s “cp -p” because I need the error checking.

There is no “Copy” module, I assume you mean File::Copy. But that doesn’t matter, they way to get & set file timestamp is a FAQ entry, see below

Question by travis s: File indexing C++ or python?
So what I’m doing is building a Real-time Anti-virus for Linux/UNIX(maybe windows). It uses checksums to find static malware, and hex to find dynamic malware, using ClamAV definitions. But the thing that i can’t seem to do is index the whole System and check for changes, and if a change occurs the changed/added file will be scanned. So all i need to do is index the whole system and upon change i need to know where the change occurred(including the file name) and what change it was, file added, removed, changed, maybe even moved. Is this possible in C++ or python, if it is will it completely drain the resources? And also how do i do this?
