Well, it seems you're correct with respect to `File::Copy::copy()`; however, `File::Copy::move()` seems to work fine. I tried `copy()` on an empty directory and just got an empty (normal) file. I then tried `move()` on an empty directory and that worked; `move()` on a populated directory also worked, i.e. moved the directory and its contents. If you're the OP, sorry for the bum steer. I'll update my post. -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
