#DESCRIPTION

The module is used in the Win32 port to replace common UNIX commands. Most commands are wrappers on generic modules File::Path and File::Basename.

#cat: Concatenates all files mentioned on command line to STDOUT.
#eqtime src dst: Sets modified time of dst to that of src
#rm_f files....: Removes directories - recursively (even if readonly)
#rm_f files....: Removes files (even if readonly)
#touch files ...: Makes files exist, with current timestamp
#mv source... destination: Moves source to destination. Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.
#cp source... destination: Copies source to destination. Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.
#chmod mode files...: Sets UNIX like permissions 'mode' on all the files.
#mkpath directory...: Creates directory, including any parent directories.
#test_f file: Tests if a file exists

#BUGS

Should probably be Auto/Self loaded.
