what about using File::Copy ? AFAIR, it's there since Perl 5.002
which is enough according to INN requirements.
NAME
File::Copy - Copy files or filehandles
SYNOPSIS
use File::Copy;
copy("file1","file2");
copy("Copy.pm",\*STDOUT);'
move("/dev1/fileA","/dev2/fileB");
...
· The `move' function also takes two parameters: the
current name and the intended name of the file to be
moved. If the destination already exists and is a
directory, and the source is not a directory, then the
source file will be renamed into the directory speci
fied by the destination.
If possible, move() will simply rename the file.
Otherwise, it copies the file to the new location and
deletes the original. If an error occurs during this
copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (pos
sibly partial) copy of the file under the destination
name.
