Hi Ben. Even if File::Copy were to do it for you the overhead is still there. But now I know you're doing a backup, you should consider File::DirSync. It has a very nice, obvious interface but has the limitation that it will backup only entire directories. File::Modified is useful for checking whether any of a list of files has been modified.
