[MacPerl] How to copy whole folders?

[Martin Wilhelm Leidig <mwl@moss.net>]

Good afternoon everyone!  ;-)

Hope that's not a FAQ - if so, please point me there.

Using MacPerl 5.2.0r4 on MacOS D-8.1 I tried to copy folders using

use File::Copy;
...
copy ($InDirName, $OutDirName) or warn ($!);

and got some odd looking error about "Operation not allowed for sockets" or something like that, no matter if the folder was empty or not.  Using "rename" instead of "copy" in the fragment above works without any flaw.  Is there a simple (and portable) way to duplicate whole folders to some other place?  Have I to run the subtree and to copy each single file myself?
