Well, bringing it back to the *on topic* part of this list, I'm thinking
of a solution that does an "rsync --delete" thing by first File::Find'ing
the dest tree doing -e checks on the source, and then File::Find'ing the
source (noting hardlinks and symlinks properly) copying the file if needed
*and* its /rsrc fork if it sees a non-empty flavor.
It's too bad "ppt" didn't get to rsync. :)
>From what I understand, this should copy a file $foo to $bar
completely:
use File::Copy;
copy($foo, $bar);
copy("$foo/rsrc", "$bar/rsrc");
In fact, if we could just teach File::Copy to do that on the mac... {grin}
