in thread Move/Copy files using Clipboard!

But, err, where did you find this patch?

I just finished writing it. I wanted this myself a couple of years ago, but couldn't get it to work. This time I did.

Please let me know how you get on with it. If it works for you also, then I'll forward the patch to whomever owns it (there seem to be two owners?), and it's up to them whether they wish to add it.

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

    So... you have actually compiled and tested it? Or, how do you know this works? I was planing of looking more into this when I get home today... see if I can add that do clipboard.dll (?) somehow... :) Would actually be a nice learning process... Hard maybe, but yet interesting... Hopefully, I dont have to recompile the whole Win32 module!

      Yes, it is tested--under XP, in conjuntion with 5.8.4 and 5.8.5.

      Do you compile your own modules?

      Do you know how to apply a patch to a module distribution?

        No, not, really, but please tell me! Would be kewl doing! It seems like a rather small and not too complex thing to do (since its just a small part of the big Win32 module). Assuming I can compile this part by itself! (and I'm not too much of a stranger to makefile in linux :) )

        Update: Looking into and testing the perlxs and perlxstut now :)
