Having a few problems with running this on windows (XP).

First off CPAN failed the tests for various packages due to Unix specific pathname separators I think.

Used "nmake install" to manuall install them (with fingers crossed).

For interest, I attache the results of nmake test on new version of vcp itself.

First off, I was able to propagate a single file between 2 p4 servers quite happily - which is great!

Subsidiary question - is it possible to migrate specific revisions or ranges of revisions of documents that already exist between servers?

I tried:

C:\work\public-perforce\public\revml>vcp p4:robert@localhost:1777://depot/test/doc1.doc#18 p4:robert@localhost:1666://de pot/test/doc1.doc vcp: unexpected stderr from 'p4': p4: Unintelligible revision specification '18@2222'.
