Error checking is, as usual, left as an exercise for the reader.
-Note that utime() currently doesn't work correctly with Win95/NT
-ports. A bug has been reported. Check it carefully before using
-utime() on those platforms.
+The perldoc for utime also has an example that has the same
+effect as touch(1) on files that I<already exist>.
+
+Certain file systems have a limited ability to store the times
+on a file at the expected level of precision. For example, the
+FAT and HPFS filesystem are unable to create dates on files with
+a finer granularity than two seconds. This is a limitation of
+the filesystems, not of utime().
=head2 How do I print to more than one file at once?
