Re: How do I copy an empty directory?

Have you tried File::Copy?

Your node title has "How do I copy ..."; your node content has "How can I move ...". File::Copy has functions for both operations.

Update: It appears I was wrong about the copy() part; although, move() seems to work fine. See discussion below.

Correct me if I am wrong, but File::Copy copies files and not directories.	[reply]

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]
