Thanks. But, this is what I get when I try that. Doesn't the "Time.now" 
give it the time of right now?

irb(main):003:0> FileUtils.touch(file, :mtime => Time.now)
ArgumentError: no such option: mtime
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/FileUtils.rb:1424:in 
`fu_check_options'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/FileUtils.rb:1009:in `touch'
        from (irb):3
