recursive copy in perl

[priyadt]

Hi All,

I'm new to this Forum.

I want to know how to copy all the contents from one directory to another directory in perl.
In shell we can use cp -r sourcedir destdir . Please say the equivalent for this command in perl script.

Thanks in advance.


Regards,
Priya

When you are wanting to do something in Perl, it is always a good idea to look on CPAN for modules that do what you need. For instance, if you search for "copy" on CPAN, on the second page of the search results you would find an entry for File::Copy::Rec ursive , which I believe will do what you are looking to for.
