"touch" changes the timestamp of a file, but also creates non-existent files, and a file created by touch has zero length. I have been using touch in a bash script to create groups of files simply because it is an easy approach, and it has been years since I last did a cover-to-cover read of Learning Perl. But then the contents of each file must be created manually by copy-and-paste. I would prefer to use Perl to create the files with the desired headers. Once I know how to do that, I can make use of Perl to add additional file-specific material to each file, and save much time in manual editing.
