Not using File::Copy? You're wasting your own time.
However, if you can't get your system's copy command to work right, you could always just open from one and print to another:
open SRC, $infile;
open DEST, ">$output";
# for handicapped systems
binmode(SRC);
binmode(DEST);
while (<SRC>) {
print DEST $_;
}
close DEST;
close SRC;
Not EASY, but when you refuse to use the EASY way (File::Copy), you gotta fill a few lines...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
