[MacPerl] File copy/move difficulties...



OK, I'm sure you've all heard this before, but please humor me:

I'm new to MacPerl (being the type that eats Crunchy UNIX-O's with
Perl-mallows for breakfast) and I'm running into a bit of a problem.  I need
to move a file (or files) from one volume to another.  I've tried both
FSpCatMove as well as File::Copy::copy and File::Copy::move and I just can't
seem to do it.  I fail with a "Cross-device link" or "No such file or
directory".  I'm following all of the Mac-style colon rules
(Vol:folder:file, etc.) and I can move stuff around all day within a single
volume.

Please help... It's kinda frustrating being able to code multi-threaded apps
on one platform and not being able to mave a ^%$@#^%@! file on another. ;>

Thanks.
