Re^4: File name is long to copy

SSCCE works for me.

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Copy 'copy';
use Test::More tests => 1;

my $longname = 'foo_' . ('z' x 200);
open my $fh, '>', $longname;
print $fh "Hello!\n";
close $fh;

my $toname = 'bar_' . ('z' x 200);
ok copy ($longname, $toname) or diag $!;

Maybe your O/S or your filesystem is the problem here?

I don't think file system issue because other files in that folder are copied. I suspect only the file name issue. Can we copy the whole directory along with sub dir and files in one line of code?	[reply]

You can look at File::Copy::Recursive or consider using your OS (Windows?) command line tools: `my $cmd = qq{xcopy /s "$source" "$target"}; system( $cmd ) == 0 or die "Couldn't launch [$cmd]: $!/$?";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
