The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: File::DirSync
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Syncronize two directories rapidly
userid: BBB (Rob Brown)
chapterid: 10 (File_Names_Systems_Locking)
communities:
It's already being used.
similar:
File::Copy
rationale:
File::DirSync will make two directories exactly the same. The goal
is to perform this syncronization process as quickly as possible
with as few stats and reads and writes as possible. It can be used
for many purposes, but I use it to avoid accessing commonly needed
files across a slow NFS mount by using File::DirSync to sync
everything to a local hard drive. It can gaurantee exact file
structure consistency within the entire descend of two directories
for hundreds of megabytes of files, directories, and symlinks within
a few milliseconds.
