ExtUtils::Command
See the current Perl documentation for ExtUtils::Command.
Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:
ExtUtils::Command - utilities to replace common UNIX commands in Makefiles etc.
perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cat files... > destination perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mv source... destination perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cp source... destination perl -MExtUtils::Command -e touch files... perl -MExtUtils::Command -e
The module is used in Win32 port to replace common UNIX commands. Most commands are wrapers on generic modules File::Path and File::Basename.
