mv doesn't ignore any files.

Code:
~ $ mkdir a
~ $ touch a/.htaccess
~ $ mkdir b
~ $ mv a b
~ $ ls -l b/a/.htaccess 
-rw-r--r-- 1 monttyle monttyle 0 May 24 09:50 b/a/.htaccess
~ $

* however, which is part of the shell and not part of mv, does ignore hidden files.

Easy enough to fix. Just add .htaccess to the list of stuff you want.

mv /path/to/* /path/to/.[a-z]* destination The [a-z] prevents it from matching ".", the current directory, or "..", the previous directory...

	     PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000"

DESCRIPTION

       This Apache Perl module provides the ability to add support for XML-RPC protocol with easy configuration (either in .conf or in .htaccess
       file).  This functionality should give you lightweight option for hosting SOAP services and greatly simplify configuration aspects. This
       module inherites functionality from XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::Apache component of XMLRPC::Lite module.

CONFIGURATION

       The module can be placed in <Location>, <Directory>, <Files>, <FilesMatch> directives in main server configuration areas or directly in
       .htaccess file.

       All parameters should be quoted and can be separated with commas or spaces for lists ("a, b, c") and with 'wide arrows' and commas for hash
       parameters ("key1 => value1, key2 => value2").

       All options that you can find in XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::Apache component are available for configuration. Here is the description of most
       important ones.

       dispatch_to (LIST)
	   Specifies path to directory that contains Perl modules you'd like to give access to, or just list of modules (for preloaded modules).

	     PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method"

       options (HASH)
	   Specifies list of options for your module, for example threshold for compression. Future versions will support more options. See
	   XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP documentation for other options.

	     PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000"

METHODS
/SUBROUTINES
   server
	my $server = Apache::XMLRPC::Lite->server();

       Returns the server object.

       Useful if you need to manipulate the server object from your code.

   handle
       Request handler. Called by apache.
