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 whem 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 succesful 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.
