So I wonder if its better to just system() out to "mv" on Linux if I
don't care about portability?
@sysargs = ('mv', "$outbound/$file",
"/datamining/intrasight/CRS/archive");
system (@sysargs);
Yes.
Is that the same thing as making a system() call to "cp" on Linux? symlink() is for symbolic links, link() is the same thing as "cp"?
no, link() is for hard links.
Or would I be cooler if I just used some File::* class off CPAN nowadays? -grin-
