Assuming that you need to do this inside a Perl program, you might
consider using File::Xcopy.
use File::Xcopy;
syscopy("D:/vobs", "D:");
If File::Xcopy is not installed and you do not have permission to
install modules then you can roll your own with the core modules
File::Copy, File::Basename, and File::Path. Something like this
(warning untested):
use File::Copy;
use File::Basename;
use File::Path;
deepcopy("D:\vobs" "D:");
#N.B. this does not use glob'ing, so the first argument must either be
a directory or file
#glob'ing could be added using the glob() function
sub deepcopy {
my ($entry, $dest) = @_;
if (-d $entry) {
my $top = basename $entry;
mkpath "$dest/$top";
opendir DH, $entry;
while (my $new = readdir DH) {
deepcopy("$entry/$new", "$dest/$top");
}
closedir DH
} else {
copy($entry, $dest);
}
}
