But rename() can't go across mounted filesystem boundaries, so "mv" calls out to the O/S rename command (mv on unix, rename on windows) to do the moving if the internal rename fails. Or, this is what I remember, having had too little sleep. In essence, File::Copy::cp emulates unix "cp" as best it can. Ditto "mv". -- Randal L.
