Package: libfile-ncopy-perl
Version: 0.34-1
Severity: wishlist

I had a hard time fitting this into the summary, but it would be very
nice to be able to copy a directory to a non-existant directory, and for
the new directory to be created. This would mimic the behavior of the
Unix cp command. To be sure that I am very clear, here is what I have in
mind:

/one
/one/a
/one/b

cp -r one two

/one
/one/a
/one/b
/two
/two/a
/two/b

cp -r one two

/one
/one/a
/one/b
/two
/two/a
/two/b
/two/one
/two/one/a
/two/one/b

File::NCopy currently supports the second syntax, but not the first.
What I am trying to ask for is support for the first. Boy, that sure was
hard to explain something that seems so simple.

thanks,
Charles
