DESCRIPTION

The module is used to replace common UNIX commands. In all cases the functions work from @ARGV rather than taking arguments. This makes them easier to deal with in Makefiles. 

  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e some_command some files to work on

NOT


  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e 'some_command qw(some files to work on)'

For that use Shell::Command.

Filenames with * and ? will be glob expanded.

cat

    cat file ...

Concatenates all files mentioned on command line to STDOUT.

eqtime

    eqtime source destination

Sets modified time of destination to that of source.

rm_rf

    rm_rf files or directories ...

Removes files and directories - recursively (even if readonly)

rm_f

    rm_f file ...

Removes files (even if readonly)

touch

    touch file ...

Makes files exist, with current timestamp

mv

    mv source_file destination_file

    mv source_file source_file destination_dir

Moves source to destination. Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.

Returns true if all moves succeeded, false otherwise.

cp

    cp source_file destination_file

    cp source_file source_file destination_dir

Copies sources to the destination. Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.

Returns true if all copies succeeded, false otherwise.

chmod

    chmod mode files ...

Sets UNIX like permissions 'mode' on all the files. e.g. 0666

mkpath

    mkpath directory ...

Creates directories, including any parent directories.

test_f

    test_f file
