.IX Title "ExtUtils::Command 3"
.TH ExtUtils::Command 3 "2001-09-21" "perl v5.8.8" "Perl Programmers Reference Guide"
ExtUtils::Command \- utilities to replace common UNIX commands in Makefiles etc.
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cat files... > destination
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mv source... destination
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cp source... destination
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e touch files...
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_f files...
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_rf directories...
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mkpath directories...
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e eqtime source destination
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e test_f file
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod mode files...
The module is used to replace common \s-1UNIX\s0 commands. In all cases the
functions work from \f(CW@ARGV\fR rather than taking arguments. This makes
them easier to deal with in Makefiles.
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e some_command some files to work on
\& perl -MExtUtils::Command -e 'some_command qw(some files to work on)'
For that use Shell::Command.
Filenames with * and ? will be glob expanded.
Concatenates all files mentioned on command line to \s-1STDOUT\s0.
\& eqtime source destination
Sets modified time of destination to that of source.
\& rm_rf files or directories ...
Removes files and directories \- recursively (even if readonly)
Removes files (even if readonly)
Makes files exist, with current timestamp
\& 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 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.
Sets \s-1UNIX\s0 like permissions 'mode' on all the files. e.g. 0666
Creates directories, including any parent directories.
\& dos2unix files or dirs ...
Converts \s-1DOS\s0 and \s-1OS/2\s0 linefeeds to Unix style recursively.
Shell::Command which is these same functions but take arguments normally.
