glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
-written to (and created if need be).
+written to (and created if need be). Trying to copy a file on top
+of itself is a fatal error.
B<Note that passing in
files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
file specified in the first parameter to the file specified in the
second parameter, preserving OS-specific attributes and file
structure. For Unix systems, this is equivalent to the simple
-C<copy> routine. For VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy>
-routine (see below). For OS/2 systems, this calls the C<syscopy>
-XSUB directly. For Win32 systems, this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>.
+C<copy> routine, which doesn't preserve OS-specific attributes. For
+VMS systems, this calls the C<rmscopy> routine (see below). For OS/2
+systems, this calls the C<syscopy> XSUB directly. For Win32 systems,
+this calls C<Win32::CopyFile>.
+
+On Mac OS (Classic), C<syscopy> calls C<Mac::MoreFiles::FSpFileCopy>,
