Funny, my copy of File::Copy's documentation plainly states:
The "copy" function takes two parameters: a file to copy from and a file to copy to.
It then quite clearly goes on to note the optional third parameter which is in no manner, shape, or form a path name of any kind. The post I was responding to seemed to imply that they expected copy to work like cp with multiple arguments and a trailing directory name, which it doesn't (as the documentation explains; "I copy from the first argument to the second argument").
I'm sorry that there exist people dense enough to blindly presume things without reading the documentation, but it's quite obvious what copy allows for arguments.

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).
