## install

    install (\hashref, verbose, nonono)

Installs files. Takes the following arguments:

\hashref

  Reference to a hash, where each key is a directory to copy from and the value is the directory to copy into. The whole tree below the "from" directory is copied, with timestamps and permissions preserved.

  The hash has two additional keys: `read` and `write`. After copying everything, `install` writes the list of target files to the file named by `$hashref->{write}`. If there is another file named by `$hashref->{read}`, its contents are merged into the written file.

verbose

  Verbose switch.

nonono

  Don't-really-do-it switch.
