    Oh no!!! I am not going down that road. I have already seen File::Type on CPAN, but am just concerned about stability issues. This script will be running every once in a while and it just has to be dependable. Thats my only concerns. If it comes to it, I would rather sacrifice time and bandwidth in just mirroring whole directories, since it is on the local network. I was just hoping to get some recomendations on any other modules that people might already be familiar with.

    Thanks anyway
