So File::Copy does not preserve the attributes of the copied file. Can't we fix it?

package NewCopy; 
use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Copy;
require Exporter;
our @ISA = qw(File::Copy);
our @EXPORT = qw(copy move);
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(cp mv);

sub cp;
sub mv;

*cp = \©
*mv = \&move;

no warnings;
eval {
    sub copy{
        my ($attr) = (stat( $_[0] ))[2]
            or return -1;
        return (File::Copy::copy(@_) 
              && (chmod ($attr, $_[1]) );
    }


    sub move {
        return File::Copy::move(@_)
    }
};

1;

Replace "use File::Copy" with "use NewCopy" in your script and it will give

/tmp/one is executable
/tmp/two is executable
/tmp/three is executable
