Re: File::Copy move $! is "no such file" even on success

~~$! isn't guarenteed to be reset after a successful call. I suspect you're seeing an error message from a previous call.~~

Update: Ignore the above. I didn't read the code closely enough.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

$! isn't guarenteed to be reset after a successful call. I suspect you're seeing an error message from a previous call. If you look at the code, you see that $! is set before the call to move (it would generate a warning if they are turned on, but $! is still set to 0). $! will be set by move() (or by one of the function that it calls). You just shouldn't draw conclusions from it. Abigail	[reply]
