For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
cannot move file using file::copy module

Posted by callisto (callisto), 15 April 2006
I try to write a perl script that will move the files from Windows 2000 to Unix, but "fail to move"..
The Move function in Unix can be used in Windows 2000 or other Windows?
below is the code, pls advice on how to resolve it, thanks..

well I execute the code in C:\Perlscript, then the btest.txt is also in the same directory..


#!/usr/bin/perl -------> This line should be omitted in Windows? but whether I omit or not omit still show "fail to move"


use File::Copy;

$oldloc="btest.txt";
$newloc="test/btest.txt";
move($oldloc,$newloc)or die "fail to move";


Rgds,
callisto

The #! line will be ignored in windows (unless you're running under something like an apache web server) and in any case it will do no harm.

Does the subdirectory test already exist?

Hi Graham,

Yes, the subdirectory already exists..
Thanks..
