this helps, however the script will be run as root. within
unix, i can do 'cp -p /foo.txt /bar.txt' and i'll be able to
retain the original ownership and perms of the file. this is
of course provided that the user account copying the file has
permission to do so. as root, i would.
i guess that i am really looking for the answer as to whether
or not my situation merits
system('cp -p /foo.txt /bar.txt');
or if this is something that can be done with File::Copy.
thanks! -charles
