Hmmm, let's not, shall we? At least, not if you care about your permission bits. `$ touch /tmp/foo $ chmod -w+x /tmp/foo $ ls -l /tmp/foo $ -r-x------ 1 javafan staff 0 Aug 7 18:16 /tmp/foo $ perl -MFile::Copy -wE 'move "/tmp/foo", "/var/tmp/foo"' $ ls -l /var/tmp/foo $ -rw------- 1 javafan staff 0 Aug 7 18:16 /var/tmp/foo` [download] But with `mv`: `$ touch /tmp/foo $ chmod -w+x /tmp/foo $ ls -l /tmp/foo $ -r-x------ 1 javafan staff 0 Aug 7 18:18 /tmp/foo $ mv /tmp/foo /var/tmp/foo $ ls -l /var/tmp/foo $ -r-x------ 1 javafan staff 0 Aug 7 18:18 /var/tmp/foo` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
