DESCRIPTION
       The module is used in the Win32 port to replace common
       UNIX commands.  Most commands are wrappers on generic mod-
       ules 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.
