After perusing the man pages on rcp (there is at least one
documented case in which rcp "may not correctly fail") and
the given results you've had, I doubt you will be able to
use it reliably without substantial, manual error checking of your
own afterwards. E.g., manually checking after issuing the
command to see if the resulting file or directory
structures was successfully copied. That will probably
necessitate the use of Net:Ftp or
Net::Telnet module. Perhaps there is another
module I'm unaware of.
If you are just trying to copy a few files, I would use
Net::Ftp. If you want to copy directory
structures, you might look at using tar in
conjunction with Net::Telnet.
If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong. -- Norm Schryer | [reply]
