36 The module is used in the Win32 port to replace common UNIX commands.
37 Most commands are wrappers on generic modules File::Path and File::Basename.
45 @ARGV = map(/[\*\?]/ ?
glob($_) : $_,@ARGV);
50 Concatenates all files mentioned on command line to STDOUT.
62 Sets modified time of dst to that of src
68 my ($src,$dst) = @ARGV;
71 utime((stat($src))[8,9],$dst);
76 Removes directories - recursively (even if readonly)

([grep -e
$_,expand_wildcards
()],0,0);
87 Removes files (even if readonly)

103 =item touch files ...
105 Makes files exist, with current timestamp
115 my $file = shift(@ARGV);
116 open(FILE
,">>$file") || die "Cannot write $file:$!";
122 =item mv source... destination
124 Moves source to destination.
125 Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.

162 Sets UNIX like permissions 'mode' on all the files.
168 my $mode = shift(@ARGV);
169 chmod($mode,expand_wildcards
()) || die "Cannot chmod ".join(' ',$mode,@ARGV).":$!";
172 =item mkpath directory...
174 Creates directory, including any parent directories.
