This Perl 5 script is used to install an entire directory tree
without any of the CVS directories. Its use is
very simple. In general, the base of the tree to be installed and the
destination directory are all that is necessary. The basic usage
is:
install-dir.pl [{-i source
directory} | {-o destination
directory} | [-u user name] | [-g group name] | [-m mode] | [-e extension list] | [-l]]
This script is used when an entire directory (except for CVS-related files) must be installed. No other files are skipped during the installation process. Therefore, it is useful when a data directory must be installed.
The -e <extension list> option shown
above restricts install-dir.pl so that it installs only the files in
the extension list. The extension list is a comma-separated list of
extensions of the form .ext.
