I have just released a new module for Perl for Win32 called FUtils (File
Utilities), coming soon to a CPAN site near you!  Or, get the lates copy from:

	http://www.netaxs.com/~joc/ntperl/futils.zip

The intent of the package is to implement some file utilities available in the
UNIX world, which are not available in Hip's port or in the OS itself.

Functions so far include:
	DupUTime $src, @files
		Duplicates the access and mod times from $src file to @files
	GetLongPathName @files
		Gets the long path names for each file
	GetShortPathName @files
		Gets the short path name (8.3) for each file
	Sum16 @files
		Generates 16-bit checksums for each file
	Touch @files
		Touches each file
	UTime $axstime, $modtime, @files
		Changes the access and mod times for each file

See the doc files for more info.  Any and all feedback is welcome.

NOTE: This module will only work for Perl builds >= 106.

Regards,
