That formula did'nt do it either but it did show a different error
that throws some light on this.
Notice the first file is the directory name <dir1>
hpdb cp'ing ./dir1 => tmp/001
Failed to copy ./dir1 =>
tmp/001: Is a directory at ./renum2.pl line 113
Thats why copy is failing.
Is it normal for File:Find to list the directory name as the first
file found?
Yes. You should test everything to see if it's a file:
if( -f $_ ){
# copy
}
See `perldoc perlfunc` and search for "-X FILEHANDLE"
