[MacPerl] Broken FileCopy.pl

[finvers@icpd.mitel.com (Ivars Finvers - mrd)]

Hi,

I'm having problems with using FileCopy.pl from the MacPerl library.

I'm running MacPerl 5.0.2.r1m on a 040 Mac.

When I use the version of FileCopy.pl which is provided with the MacPerl 
distribution I only get the first file (of many) copied and the file name 
of the copied file has the extra text "trueDontShowProgress" appended tp 
it.

I can eliminate the extra text on the file name by getting rid of the last 
two argument passed to &FileCopy'FileCopy (see the code below).

I can get FileCopy to work for multiple files if I add a
        &MacPerl'LoadExternals("FileCopy.pl");
within the FileCopy.pl. The error message returned by
&FileCopy'FileCopy before I add the above line of code are of
the form:
        Error : Volume not found
        Error : Volume not found
        Error : Bad Name
        Error : Bad Name
        Error : Folder not found
        Error : Folder not found

I've hacked the FileCopy.pl code (see below) to get it to work but
something appears broken with the XCDM that implements the copy 
routine.

Does anyone have a fix for this or an equivalent routine.

Thanks
