Hi Matthew, You should review the entire thread to this subject. The selective editing that you performed on that thread does make my response to Mark Paulus' follow-up issue seem inappropriate. But that's only because your editing results in mixing the context of my response to Mark with your original question. The topics are different. The fact that Mark followed up with what is *very* likely to be an unrelated Perl-specific issue is somewhat unfortunate, at least for those looking for an answer to the mv/cp issue. If you're still looking for the answer to your original mv/cp question, check out the response from Rob Collins and others as well as the many entries in the mail archives that cover this issue.
