with a little work you might be able to use find2perl, to create the shell of what you need in your script.
Also take a look at File::Path
Here is a snippet of something I use, I think I posted the complete program under Cool Uses
sub rCopy {
my $src = shift;
my $dest = shift;
$dest = $dest . ".zip";
#print "**** $src\n";
if( -f $src ) { # if file on unix also include -l from sym link
#print "DEBUG: " . (stat($src))[9] . " - " . (stat($dest))
+[9] . "$dest\n";
if(-f $dest && (stat($src))[9] <= (stat($dest))[9]) {
# target file exists and in older
print "--- Skipping file $dest\n";
} else {
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
my $file = $zip->addFile($src);
print "+++ Createing Zip File $dest\n";
unless ($zip->writeToFileNamed($dest) == 0 ) { warn "--- Could
+ not create zip file\n"; };
#print "+++Coping file $src to $dest\n\r";
#copy $src, "$dest" || print "$!\n";
}
} elsif( -d $src) {
# $src is a directory, open dir read contents.
my ($volume,$dir,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $src,1 );
if(! -d "$copy_to/$dir") {
print "++++ Creating Dir: $copy_to/$dir\n";
eval { mkpath (["$copy_to/$dir"]); 1} or warn "Could not c
+reate path $@\n\r";
}
my $dh = undef;
opendir( $dh, $src );
my @files = grep { (! /\.$/) } readdir($dh);
foreach my $rSrc (@files) {
#print "Calling rCopy($src\/$rSrc,$copy_to\/$dest\/$rSrc)\n\r"
+;
rCopy("$src" . "/$rSrc", "$copy_to/$dir/$rSrc");
#print "Skipping Dir: $src\n";
}
