NAME
       File::Copy::Link - extension for replacing a link by a copy of the linked file


SYNOPSIS
         use File::Copy::Link;
         copylink 'file.lnk';

         use File::Copy::Link qw(safecopylink);
         safecopylink 'file.lnk';


DESCRIPTION
       "copylink"
           reads the filename linked to by the argument and replaced the link with a copy of the file.  It opens
           a filehandle to read from the link, deletes the link, and then copies the filehandle back to the
           link.

       "safecopylink"
           does the same as "copylink" but without the open-and-delete manouvre.  Instead, it uses
           "File::Spec::Link" to find the target of the link and copies from there.

       This module is mostly a wrapper round "File::Spec::Link::linked" and "File::Copy::copy", the
       functionality is available in a command line script copylink.

   EXPORT
       Nothing by default, can export "copylink", `"safecopylink".
