in reply to SOLVED:Copy a directory on windows

The fault could be version 0.07 of the module returning zero even though the copy has completed OK.
Upgrade to version 0.08 or later.

    thats possible, being on windows i got it via ppm so it may not be an up to date version I will try dl'in it via cpan and see if it works better.

    ~Phoenix9

      I updated the module and the copy seemed to work better but i still got an error, then I realized the file it was having trouble with now was trying to copy to a folder that's name had a "\" inb it and because this is windows it freaked out.



      Thanx for all the help,
