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

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

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

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

"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.

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