Re: Replication of directory subtrees

I'd do system cp => '-r', $din, $dout;, or if I'm on a system that doesn't have a recursive copy, I'd do: chdir $din or die; system "tar cf - '$din' | (cd $dout; tar xf -)".

Or there's always rsync, too.	[reply]

Well, not always. POSIX compliant systems will have `cp` and `tar`, and many non POSIX compliant systems will too. (Anything remotely smelling like Unix, including Cygwin). `rsync` on the other hand isn't a standard tool. But yes, `rsync` will work, just like `scp`. Or you could make a business copy and split off a mirror. But that's not standard either. Abigail	[reply] [d/l] [select]
