I notice you're using Perl 5.8.7 there. Any idea what version of File::Copy you're using? The perl588delta doc says that File::Copy was upgraded to 2.09 in the core distribution. If you can't upgrade Perl perhaps you could upgrade File::Copy from CPAN.

If you have an example that triggers this error, I'd be happy to run it against 5.8.8 and 5.10.0 on Mandriva, against 5.8.6 on Cygwin, against 5.8.8 and 5.10.0 on Windows XP (both Strawberry and ActiveState) and/or 5.8.8 on Puppy Linux to verify whether or not it still happens.
