Now let me answer the 2nd question of Chris > 2. Did you look at the modules in MacPerl that do the same thing, with > an eye toward compatability of interfaces?
Yes I did and I did check File::Copy myself as well. As a matter of fact File::Copy appears to be MacPerl-compliant already. In a course of writing MacOSX::File, 95% of the time is spent on research and just 1% is spent on actual coding (Don't you think this retio, research vs. coding is getting worse as time goes by?) on 02.1.9 8:44 AM, Ken Williams at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > 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? The fact remains that /bin and /usr/bin ignores Carbon world. My understanding is that Darwin does not have to care MacOS world; it is left to Carbon that does. Therefore I belive File::Copy should do what /bin/cp does while mine does what /Developer/Tools/CpMac does. IMHO, a module like this should have been done by Apple... Dan the PM Writer
