Copying whole folder that include another folder and files.

Nelly has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello everybody! I need to copy folder from one place to another, and the problem is, that this folder may include folders that also include folders in additional to files. I can't find a function that copies the whole folder with it's contents.

Does anybody can solve this problem?

Well, you could use GNU `cp`, or you could use `rsync`, or you could go the Perl way, and use File::NCopy. It supports recursive copying, setting permissions, and more...	[reply]

File::Find will cure what ails you. You probably should have searched CPAN before posting this. Roses are red, violets are blue. All my base, are belong to you.	[reply]

Rolling your own with File::Find may not be as intuitive for new perl users as you imagine. There exist some other modules such as File::NCopy that do what the OP wants. -Waswas	[reply]
