Do you mean that I modify File::Copy?  That's a possibility but as I
answered in MacOSX::File::Copy vs. File::Coply, I believe File::Copy should
behave like /bin/cp (actually, copy() does cp -p because it copies mtime and
atime) while MacOSX::File::Copy behaves like /Developer/Tools/CpMac.  No one
knows if someone wants to explicitly copy(._file, elsewhere/._file)

Other modules in question might BSD::stat, yet another module by me that
works like CORE::stat and File::stat combined with BSD-specific fields.
That one works perfectly fine on MacOSX as well (Not to mention FreeBSD and
NetBSD.  I'm yet to test that on OpenBSD but I believe it works).  Darwin is
surprisingly BSD maybe except for directory layouts.

I just uploaded a module called MacOSX::File, which allows you to 
 write programs like the ones on /Developer/Tools.  You can now copy() 
 with resource fork and finder info, gets and sets finder flags, etc.  
 Hope you guys like it.  Any comments are welcome.

Hi Dan.  Two comments:

1. Did you ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] about the namespace?  I am not sure 
MacOSX is a good top-level namespace.

2. Did you look at the modules in MacPerl that do the same thing, with 
an eye toward compatability of interfaces?

Also, File::Copy should copy files correctly on MacOS (X and otherwise), 
though I'm not sure whether it currently does so.  Do you know the 
situation?

   Have you considered adding this functionality into existing File I/O 
code (possibly with some new options) instead of adding whole new API?
