SYNOPSIS

website_copy.pl [options]

DESCRIPTION

Give this script a list of files that you're interested in and a writer object that can write to a destination (local directory, ftp site whatever) and it will calculate the forest spanned by those files and will copy only these files to the target directory/tar.gz/other

This script currently does NOT use the writer object to deduce which files are already on the target machine and only copy the difference. This is left as an exercise to the reader.

TODO

-get this script out of here cause it's generic (it has nothing to do with web sites).

-make this script not copy files which are up to date.

-make this script remove files which are not needed on the target.

-make this script use a generic transfer agent (which could do copy but could also do ftp, sftp etc...)

-make this script get a list of files and not a single one out of some generic XML description.

-get ridd of the hardcoding of the perl interpreter here.
