Hi.
That does not really sound like a mod_perl issue, more like a general
perl or perl-per-platform one.
Anyway, you might want to have a look at the various Win32:: modules, in
particular Win32::File.
A word of caution : if you are copying files where the source and/or
destination might be located on "network shares", you may need to be
extra careful in checking the result of your copying. The errors you
get sometimes do not necessarily reflect perfectly the real situation.
If you are "moving" a file for instance, you may want to explicitly
re-check if the target is really there and identical, before erasing the
source.
