Re^2: How to decide the size of block in file transferring?

Is there some option to File::Copy for tracking progress?

There is no tracking call back, but File::Copy does provide syscopy which will use an OS provided file copy for Win32, VMS and OS/2 and will fall back to its normal copy for *nix. Perl reduces RSI - it saves typing	[reply]

Whoops! I just realised that I mixed up the motivations of the OP, and those in the post that he referenced. Without the progress requirement, File::Copy seems like a good way to go.
