file::copy::link

File::Copy::Link(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     File::Copy::Link(3pm)

NAME

       File::Copy::Link - Perl extension for replacing a link by a copy of the linked file.

SYNOPSIS

	 use File::Copy::Link;
	 copylink 'file.lnk';

	 use File::Copy::Link qw(safecopylink);
	 safecopylink 'file.lnk';

DESCRIPTION

       "copylink"
	   reads the filename linked to by the argument and replaced the link with a copy of the file.	It opens a filehandle to read from the
	   link, deletes the link, and then copies the filehandle back to the link.

       "safecopylink"
	   does the same as "copylink" but without the open-and-delete manouvre.  Instead, it uses "File::Spec::Link" to find the target of the
	   link and copies from there.

       This module is mostly a wrapper round "File::Spec::Link::linked" and "File::Copy::copy", the functionality is available in a command line
       script copylink.

   EXPORT
       Nothing by default, can export "copylink", `"safecopylink".
