Re: copy directories

mkpath returns a list of the directories it's created. So check the return value of that call, that should help you debug.

my @newdirs = mkpath (blah blah blah) or die "mkpath failed: $!\n";
# you can now do something with @newdirs should you need to, such as p
+rint it out

For the darnest reason that doesn't work... I am using `$ARGV` could that have anything to do with it? "The pajamas do not like to eat large carnivore toasters."

Please, "doesn't work" how? The call goes through without dying? Did you print out `@newdirs` ? You need to be more verbose in your descriptions. (and I don't think the use of `@ARGV` has anything to do with it, fwiw) Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What I am saying when it doesn't work is that it doens't work... i am saying your suggestions caused the program to run the same way its running... you guys are too verbose. adding a die statement makes it reture `"Died at sendfile.pl line 28"`... printing @newdirs returns NOTHING...
