Re: moving files

Using an upload like this just add something basic like the following

my $target = "/tmp/whatever";
open (OUTFILE, ">$target") or die "Could'nt open $target:$! \n";
print OUTFILE $file;
close;
[download]

If you are using NT or an OS that distinguishes binary mode from test files add binmode OUTFILE; after the open statement above.

Printing into files clobbers the file time by Corion (Patriarch) on May 25, 2000 at 12:14 UTC
Using `binmode` is always good practice, regardless of the OS you're programming for - it has no overhead on systems that don't need it AFAIK Your proposed method of printing into the new file has the drawback (or the effect) that neither the original file time nor the original file attributes (as they are on the file system) get preserved.

Sorry about the typo: an OS that distinguishes binary mode from test files should read an OS that distinguishes binary mode from text files.	[reply]
