File::NCopy::copy copies files to directories, or a single file to
|
|
another file. You can also use a reference to a file handle if you wish
|
|
when doing a file to file copy. The functionality is very similar to
|
|
cp. If the argument is a directory to directory copy and the recursive
|
|
flag is set then it is done recursively like cp -R. In fact it behaves
|
|
like cp on Unix for the most part.
|
|
|
|
If called in array context, an array of successful copies is returned,
|
|
otherwise the number of successful copies is returned. If passed a file
|
|
handle, it's difficult to make sure the file we are copying isn't the
|
|
same that we are copying to, since by opening the file in write mode it
|
|
gets pooched. To avoid this use file names instead, if at all possible,
|
|
especially for the to file. If passed a file handle, it is not closed
|
|
when copy returns, files opened by copy are closed.
