For example, I want to do something like this: install *.pl /path/to/destination/perl/script/directory > this complains that the directory does not exist install -D *.pl /path/to/destination/perl/script/directory > this only works with one source and dest file install -d *.pl /path/to/destination/perl/script/directory > this tries to create all directories mentioned in the command line Most unixen have install -c (or -t) which creates the destination directory if it does not exist. I notice install.exe accepts and ignores -c????? --------------ms35C2BBBD9B47EDBA2D363173 Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature MIIJFwYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIJCDCCCQQCAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHAaCC BuowggMMMIICdaADAgECAgI4bjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADCBkzELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxCzAJ BgNVBAgTAkNBMRYwFAYDVQQHEw1Nb3VudGFpbiBWaWV3MRswGQYDVQQKExJBbWVyaWNhIE9u bGluZSBJbmMxGTAXBgNVBAsTEEFPTCBUZWNobm9sb2dpZXMxJzAlBgNVBAMTHkludHJhbmV0 IENlcnRpZmljYXRlIEF1dGhvcml0eTAeFw0wMTA2MDQxMzIzNTlaFw0wMTEyMDExMzIzNTla MIGCMRMwEQYKCZImiZPyLGQBGRYDY29tMRgwFgYKCZImiZPyLGQBGRYIbmV0c2NhcGUxITAf BgkqhkiG9w0BCQEWEnJpY2htQG5ldHNjYXBlLmNvbTEXMBUGA1UEAxMOUmljaCBNZWdnaW5z b24xFTATBgoJkiaJk/IsZAEBEwVyaWNobTCBnzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEA vzzOOuvTS4h7GhcAGzqVeimRSAAhcKDPG9I3nBzbjyhahyg1l+9jL3aWxzjZTeUc3mAvWuoK 3NsNsI6N4MV9kH2NDUEEw3GsSweDEU6MFBwPA2YCxa8Ct0NkR+VRWG/YfUalO/OqROKZ5KBY tiJCR31RQ5Iiwxe4ZgPVfrYoVzUCAwEAAaN+MHwwEQYJYIZIAYb4QgEBBAQDAgWgMA4GA1Ud DwEB/wQEAwIF4DA2BggrBgEFBQcBAQQqMCgwJgYIKwYBBQUHMAGGGmh0dHA6Ly9uc29jc3Au bmV0c2NhcGUuY29tMB8GA1UdIwQYMBaAFCnbsi2Dfn+LI7vCzGa5Oegp8wKGMA0GCSqGSIb3 DQEBBAUAA4GBAMkxCPa1hNJmPODo+PvjDyGxRdXIKlgcbWMDuoBVZ7OulY006Jg02nnvwNnq q8wLIciyyjVP1rTpHsBApNCGxkRa5Oc5sCetbnyP5ZIOBCaOe0Bh/IWDDTHl3y9HTWmNxX8b OPkzNkWGigfW45m2Xr3lTjnUhXdFgt4QU57EbizQMIID1jCCAz+gAwIBAgIEAgAB5jANBgkq hkiG9w0BAQUFADBFMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzEYMBYGA1UEChMPR1RFIENvcnBvcmF0aW9uMRww GgYDVQQDExNHVEUgQ3liZXJUcnVzdCBSb290MB4XDTAxMDYwMTEyNDcwMFoXDTA0MDYwMTIz NTkwMFowgZMxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMQswCQYDVQQIEwJDQTEWMBQGA1UEBxMNTW91bnRhaW4g VmlldzEbMBkGA1UEChMSQW1lcmljYSBPbmxpbmUgSW5jMRkwFwYDVQQLExBBT0wgVGVjaG5v bG9naWVzMScwJQYDVQQDEx5JbnRyYW5ldCBDZXJ0aWZpY2F0ZSBBdXRob3JpdHkwgZ8wDQYJ KoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJAoGBAOLvXyx2Q4lLGl+z5fiqb4svgU1n/71KD2MuxNyF9p4s SSYg/wAX5IiIad79g1fgoxEZEarW3Lzvs9IVLlTGbny/2bnDRtMJBYTlU1xI7YSFmg47PRYH XPCzeauaEKW8waTReEwG5WRB/AUlYybr7wzHblShjM5UV7YfktqyEkuNAgMBAAGjggGCMIIB fjBNBgNVHR8ERjBEMEKgQKA+hjxodHRwOi8vd3d3MS51cy1ob3N0aW5nLmJhbHRpbW9yZS5j b20vY2dpLWJpbi9DUkwvR1RFUm9vdC5jZ2kwHQYDVR0OBBYEFCnbsi2Dfn+LI7vCzGa5Oegp 8wKGMGYGA1UdIARfMF0wRgYKKoZIhvhjAQIBBTA4MDYGCCsGAQUFBwIBFipodHRwOi8vd3d3 LmJhbHRpbW9yZS5jb20vQ1BTL09tbmlSb290Lmh0bWwwEwYDKgMEMAwwCgYIKwYBBQUHAgEw WAYDVR0jBFEwT6FJpEcwRTELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxGDAWBgNVBAoTD0dURSBDb3Jwb3JhdGlv bjEcMBoGA1UEAxMTR1RFIEN5YmVyVHJ1c3QgUm9vdIICAaMwKwYDVR0QBCQwIoAPMjAwMTA2 MDExMjQ3MzBagQ8yMDAzMDkwMTIzNTkwMFowDgYDVR0PAQH/BAQDAgEGMA8GA1UdEwQIMAYB Af8CAQEwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQADgYEASmIO2fpGdwQKbA3d/tIiOZkQCq6ILYY9V4TmEiQ3 aftZXuIRsPmfpFeGimkfBmPRfe4zNkkQIA8flxcsJ2w9bDkEe+JF6IcbVLZgQW0drgXznfk6 NJrje2tMcfjrqCuDsDWQTBloce3wYyJewlvsIHq1sFFz6QfugWd2eVP3ldQxggH1MIIB8QIB ATCBmjCBkzELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxCzAJBgNVBAgTAkNBMRYwFAYDVQQHEw1Nb3VudGFpbiBW aWV3MRswGQYDVQQKExJBbWVyaWNhIE9ubGluZSBJbmMxGTAXBgNVBAsTEEFPTCBUZWNobm9s b2dpZXMxJzAlBgNVBAMTHkludHJhbmV0IENlcnRpZmljYXRlIEF1dGhvcml0eQICOG4wCQYF Kw4DAhoFAKCBsTAYBgkqhkiG9w0BCQMxCwYJKoZIhvcNAQcBMBwGCSqGSIb3DQEJBTEPFw0w MTA5MjUyMjQyMDhaMCMGCSqGSIb3DQEJBDEWBBSwTXkE8NwtHRuij+CB6RmoS8A8BzBSBgkq hkiG9w0BCQ8xRTBDMAoGCCqGSIb3DQMHMA4GCCqGSIb3DQMCAgIAgDAHBgUrDgMCBzANBggq hkiG9w0DAgIBQDANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBKDANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASBgGep1c05eZ4ohLbz DttKBaWNg9fW46t1SFxwTxS9Ka0pwDxmdcwabdpjuP4tBiY0zsL+Yko68z0ZPV0+fAu80jx5 /KK65DCgYozEL23hnbw+LnDIU/HjMk3bJRWKSlLScd5xFQ6YBhXkVCs5Dd408ndpkJDVyAwn /ai3zMmpSirC --------------ms35C2BBBD9B47EDBA2D363173--
