rtouch

By the way …

Upgrading Wordpress is annoying! There was lots of “delete this folder–except for file x and folder y.” Because of how I organize things, at one point I found it useful to write a recursive touch script. Here it is:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use File::Find;

my @dirs = @ARGV ? @ARGV : ('.');

find sub {
    system("touch", $_);
}, @dirs;

It’s pretty simple: for instance, it doesn’t pass along any options to the touch program. But I thought I’d put that off until I can rewrite it in ruby. This Perl version was just because I needed it done quick.
