Is what is being requested here anything other than an implementation of
the Perl 5 `utime()` function?
If so:
(a) How do we resolve the ambiguities about `utime` and `utimes` mentioned
in the BSD and Linux `man` pages?
BSD (via darwin): `man utime`
{{{
This interface is obsoleted by utimes(2).
}}}
Linux: `man utime`
{{{
POSIX.1-2001 marks utimes() legacy, which is strange since it
provides more
functionality than utime().
}}}
(b) Can we do anything with the fact that we pick up `i_utime` -- but
apparently not `d_futimes` -- from the Perl 5 `%Config`?
Thank you very much.[[BR]]
