What error does it give? We can't help you without knowing the error message. Maybe the module is not installed. If that is the case, you can install the module by running: `cpan File::Copy::Recursive` [download] If that fails because you don't have the appropriate permissions to install modules, consult with your system administrator on how to install new modules for your system.

This error means that the module is not installed. Also, this looks like you are using a very old version of Perl - Perl 5.8.9 was released at the end of 2008, that is 14 years ago. While much Perl code might work with Perl 5.8.9, I would consult with the system administrator whether moving to a more recent and supported version of Perl is an option.	[reply]

Yes you can! L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]
