in thread Copying a directory recursively

Because trying to shell out to xcopy wasn't working =/. Actually by "pure perl" I meant not utilizing any other binary.

    Note that by default DOS's xcopy does not copy recursively, you have to give a switch to do that, /E I think.

      /s for recursive (s for sub directories).
      /e to copy empty subdirectories.
      /o might be of interest too. Use it to also copy file ownership and ACL information.
