   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().
