ExtUtils::Command

See the current Perl documentation for ExtUtils::Command.

Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:

ExtUtils::Command - utilities to replace common UNIX commands in Makefiles etc.

  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cat files... > destination
  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mv source... destination
  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cp source... destination
  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e touch files...
  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e
    

    

The module is used in Win32 port to replace common 
UNIX commands. Most commands are wrapers on generic
modules File::Path and File::Basename.


cat


Concatenates all files mentioned on command line to 
STDOUT.

eqtime src dst


Sets modified time of dst to that of src

rm_f files....


Removes directories - recursively (even if readonly)

rm_f files....

touch files ...

mv source... destination


Moves source to destination. Multiple sources are allowed if destination is
an existing directory.

cp source... destination


Copies source to destination. Multiple sources are allowed if destination
is an existing directory.

chmod mode files...


Sets 
UNIX like permissions 'mode' on all the files.

mkpath directory...

test_f file

BUGS
