It seems that MacPerl::FileCopy, as in: &MacPerl'FileCopy($from, $to, 1); doesn't copy Finder comments (the ones you see in the Get Info window.) Should it? (Or would this this break some Apple UI guideline? You know, since the user will lose them anyway when he/she rebuilds the desktop, why waste the time...) I notice that we have "FSpDTCopyComment SRCSPEC, DSTSPEC" available, so this is most likely supposed to be this way. Just in case, thought I'd ask.
