Re: Recursive Directory Copy (with resource forks) in Mac OS X

After looking into the source for File::Copy::Recursive I see that
this is due to its reliance on the copy() method in the superclass
File::Copy. And all of this is due to the fact that perl does not
have a built-in "copy file" function, which is well-known and seems to
have been discussed by people smarter than me who are discussing
whether or not to fix it in perl 6 [1]. So, I'll just use my own
workaround of calling system() to invoke darwin's cp (which copies
resource forks in Mac OS 10.4 or later).
