Bug #20245 for File-Copy-Recursive: PFSCheck and Win32

Sun Jul 02 17:07:25 2006 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

PFSCheck and Win32

stat on Win32 (running under ActivePerl 5.8.8.817.90) returns 0 for inode field - therefore samecheck always fails when $_[0] and $cur exist. As far as i can see there is no real solution for this under Win32. Symlinking is almost impossible under win32 (on NTFS directories can be linked, but i am unsure how to detect this) Temprorary work around is: $File::Copy::Recursive::CopyLoop = 1; $File::Copy::Recursive::PFSCheck = 0; Solution: Maybe a return if $^O eq 'MSWin32'; at start of samecheck sub? Cheers Ash

local $File::Copy::Recursive::.... would probably be more advisable. Show quoted text

I'd rather have a reliable check but I suppose that will have to do. What are you gonna do, its windows or as I like to call it "WinBlows" :) Attmpting to upload 0.25 now, let me knowhow this works out for you, thanks
