Batch file to make rsync'ing blead perl under win32 less of a pain in the ass.

Normally when you rsync the sources the permissions and attributes on the rsynced files are all wrong. This script automates resetting them. It also automates the process of applying a patch if you wish.

usage: get_blead TODIR PATCH

If TODIR doesnt exists then an error occurs. PATCH is optional.

WARNING: This batch file is destructive. The directory it rsync's to will be completely replaced by a copy of blead perl. Be careful with what directory you point it at. 

@echo off
if "%1"=="" goto :errorn
setlocal
pushd %1
if errorlevel 1 goto :errord
cd
pause
rsync -avz --delete rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com/perl-current/ .
echo y|cacls .\*.* /T /C /P Everyone:F >nul
attrib -r /s /d .
if "%2"=="" goto :popit
perl -pe "BEGIN{binmode STDOUT}; /^[+-]{3}/ && s!/!\\!g;" %2 | patch -
+l
regen.pl
:popit
popd

goto :end

:errord
echo Error, directory '%1' was invalid

:errorn
echo usage: %0 BLEADPERL_DIR

:end
