Archive option

I have written a Perl script which accesses records in folders and extracts the information for indexing purpose. Records under folder A , which is already existing, can be accessed by the perl script. But records under newly created folder B can not be accessed. Both the folders A and B have same permissions. I have noticed one thing with NTFS permissions with the records . I have an existing folder A with some records in it. In the NTFS permissions, when I check properties of records , under the general tab of records, option "Archive" has been checked. Now I have created a new folder B. Some new records are created in this folder B. If I check properties of new records, "Archive" option is not checked. Can this have any effect on accesseing the new records by a perl script ? If yes, then question is how to check this "archive" option for the new records ? Because, these permissions are set automatically when a record is created and parent folder permissions are the same for folders A and B.

The archive bit is just a flag, and is not pertinent to data security/access permissions. It is just a flag to tell if a file has been backed up or not. There is really a lot of possibilities to resolving your question. I wouldn't know where to start. I have too many questions to ask.
