If every file is copied with EU::Command as a separate command, that means invoking Perl once per copy. That is going to be very, very slow on Windows. This is a known issue with EU::MM on windows even just for ordinary CPAN modules -- all the copies to blib and thence to site_lib need an invocation of Perl per copy operation. There's been talk of replacing it with native OS commands, but no one has done the work. EU::Command needs to be used *carefully* if the number of operations is large.
