It appears the v4.0.1 mysqlhotcopy perl script has been modified and broken.

When using cp for the backup it's passing a null value for the file(s) to be
copied.  Below is a session clipping of an execution with --debug turned on:
------------------------------------------------------------
# /u02/mysql/mysql-4.0.1/bin/mysqlhotcopy test_myisam --allowold --debug
Using copy suffix '_copy'
Filtering tables with '(?-xism:.*)'
$VAR1 = [
          {
            'tables' => [
                          'test_myisam.incidents'
                        ],
            't_regex' => '.*',
            'src' => 'test_myisam',
            'raid_dirs' => [],
            'index' => [],
            'files' => [
                         'incidents.MYD',
                         'incidents.MYI',
                         'incidents.frm'
                       ],
            'target' => '/u02/mysql/data/test_myisam_copy'
          }
        ];

Any fixes for this?
