Mirror Mirror was designed to duplicate a directory hierarchy between two machines. It avoids copying files unnecessarily by comparing the file time-stamps and file sizes before transferring. Mirror was writen by Lee McLoughlin <[1]lmjm@icparc.ic.ac.uk>. The latest version is Mirror 2.9 which will run on Un*x, Wind*ws 95 and Wind*ws NT. Its sole requirement is Perl 4, or better still, [2]Perl 5.
