Copying files 1

[Kasd2002]

Hi.
I have a problem i dont know how to solve.
I want to copy one file to another, but only one part of it is it copied.....
The file is quite long.....should this be the reason?

use perl's File::Copy

use File::Copy;

copy ($file1, $file2) || die "can not copy, $!";

or use qx/cp $file1 $file2/ though the former method is better (being platform independent and h4x0r proof) ---
cheers!

Thanks 133camel!!!
In the meantime i found the proble (i think) the file was not properly closed, so the content was truncated.
