<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to copy files from one directory to another where the directory
paths are something like:</DIV>
<DIV>/a/b/c to /x/y/z</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I need to detect if the two directory paths are identical after symbolic
links are resolved, in order to skip the file copy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Using File::Copy::copy sets $! to ‘No such file or directory’</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Using cp from a shell prompt gives an error like:</DIV>
<DIV>cp: `/a/b/c/foo.txt' and `/x/y/z/foo.txt' are the same file<BR></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Anyone have an idea how to resolve this?</DIV>
<DIV></DIV></DIV>
