ExtUtils::Command - utilities to replace common UNIX commands in Makefiles etc.
perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cat files... > destination perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mv source... destination perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cp source... destination perl -MExtUtils::Command -e touch files... perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_f files... perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_rf directories... perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mkpath directories... perl -MExtUtils::Command -e eqtime source destination perl -MExtUtils::Command -e test_f file perl -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod mode files... ...
The module is used to replace common UNIX commands. In all cases the functions work from @ARGV rather than taking arguments. This makes them easier to deal with in Makefiles.
perl -MExtUtils::Command -e some_command some files to work on
NOT
perl -MExtUtils::Command -e 'some_command qw(some files to work on)'
Filenames with * and ? will be glob expanded.
Concatenates all files mentioned on command line to STDOUT.
Sets modified time of dst to that of src
Removes directories - recursively (even if readonly)
Removes files (even if readonly)
Makes files exist, with current timestamp
Moves source to destination. Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.
Returns true if all moves succeeded, false otherwise.
Copies source to destination. Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.
Returns true if all copies succeeded, false otherwise.
Sets UNIX like permissions 'mode' on all the files. e.g. 0666
Creates directory, including any parent directories.
Tests if a file exists
Converts DOS and OS/2 linefeeds to Unix style recursively.
Should probably be Auto/Self loaded.
