I get an error when trying to use File::Copy to move a directory to a mounted section of the filesystem.
----------------------------
use File::Copy;
my $source_dir = '/home/my/this_dir';
my $destination_dir = '/nfsmount/elsewhere/this_dir';
move("$source_dir", "$destination_dir");
if ( $! ) {
# Prints 'Is a directory' (and the move doesn't happen).
print $!;
}
----------------------------
Is File::Copy the wrong thing to use for this? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
