This stuff needs to support perl down to 5.8.0, and that's a reason behind having src/test/perl/RecursiveCopy.pm. So I would suggest just to use that. cp is not portable on Windows as well, that's a recipe for non-portable code there. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
