How about using Win32::FileCopy()? It can accept both UNCs as well as
mapped drives.

if (!system ("xcopy32 c:\*.* d:\ /s /e /v /h /k /r /c")) {
  print "worked\n";
} else {
  print "failed\n";
}

At least I think xcopy32 returns 0 on success...

Why doesn't xcopy work?

It copies subdirs, empty dirs, etc..

xcopy32 c:\*.* d:\ /s /e /v /h /k /r /c

Adding a /y if you aren't using NT...

Other than that, File::Copy works great for all those types of
situations.  It doesn't touch security, but there are perl tools to do
that as well (Win32::Perms).  Or just find a copy of scopy (Security
Copy?).

HTH

Hi,

does anyone know how to copy the contents of one
mapped drive onto another, including all files and
directories? Xcopy doesn't work.

thanks,

John
