I used to use IPC::Open3 for this type of thing. Now I use AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd:
use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::Util;
use File::Spec;
my ($stdout, $stderr) = ('', ''); # I think these need to be empty str
+ings, not undefs
my $pid;
my $cv = AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd [ qw(xcopy /Y /S /E /I /F /R /K), $so
+urce, $dest ],
'<' => File::Spec->devnull(),
'>' => \$stdout,
'2>' => \$stderr,
'$$' => \$pid, # this line is optional, you may not need it.
;
my $rc = $cv->recv();
(You can even run more than one of these at a time if you want, with a little extra code.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
