Couple of ways : 1) quick and dirty - if it's unix and you don't mind it not being portable to windows - do the -d test on the vars so you know they are directories and not evil commands to delete stuff or something
if((-d $orig_dir)&&(-d $dest_dir)) { print `cp -R $orig_dir $dest_dir`; } else { print "One of your directories is a bad monkey! \n"; } 2) more secure and portable try the File::Slurp ( I'm sure there's other more suited to your particular task ) module or other modules at http://serach.cpan.org Dan > > Hi, > > I want to copy whole directory structure and its > containts(may be file and folders under source directory) to > destination directory .i dont know how to do this .Can > anybody help me.
