Subject: [Belfast-pm] Copying a directory

How do I copy a directory in Perl?

I've tried

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 use warnings;
 use strict;
 use File::Copy;
 copy("dir1","dir2") || die "Copy failed: $!";

Which gives:

Copy failed: no such file or directory at copy.pl line 5.

(Please be gentle, I'm returning to perl programming after a long absence....)

Have a look at the File::Copy::Recursive module.
