hey..
I am wondering how do I copy an entire directory to another location?
I didnt see any references of it in the "copy" command man page.. I
could read the location.. and recurse through each dir to and copy
files.. or i can run a qx/cp D1 D2 -rf/... but there has to be a
better way...?
Thanks..

That's probably what the OP is looking for. But, FWIW, I use
File::Rsync for this type of thing (which doesn't really care if I'm
doing a recursive copy on the same machine or two different machines;
that flexability can come in handy).
