How do I set mtime
Hi.
I try to use the $r->mtime($upd) method to set a pages last modified to
a database timestamp. perldoc Apache::File tells me
"The last modified time may also be changed using this method"
My error log however says "Usage: Apache::mtime(r)", if I try.
So how do I do it? I do not want to use update_mtime. Normally mtime is
set by SSI XBitHack full and pretty OK. I want to set it only in special
cases.
Thx,
Joachim

No worries. I've updated the docs.

$r->mtime() is read only. to update the mtime slot you want to use
$r->update_mtime(), update_mtime which is smart enough to only replace the
mtime if the time you're updating with is later than the current mtime.
you'll also want to make sure that you're doing this before you call
$r->send_http_header.

Probably the doc is not matching the reality. Try update_mtime documented at:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/api/Apache/File.html#Apache_Methods_added_by_Apache__File
