Might be interesting to look at.

It's not part of the protocol, just one of Bucktooth's features. Note
however that I'm wringing some subtle bugs out of the argument parsing
and these are due for -pr4. So this is by no means finalised.
I chose ? to do it since it seemed rarely used as part of a selector and
that it would be easily visually parsed since most HTTP GET-based CGIs accept
arguments the same way.

You could use the stat() call. One of the list elements returned is
the modification time; see the perlfunc manpage.
