Thanks for sorting this out so quickly!

And on further inspection, I think it should be

  copy ("-f", "-L", $filetoopen, $dest);

in case texlive.tlpdb.xz is a symbolic link, which might happen in the
experiments I am doing. Maybe not in real life, though.

At any rate, the symlink issue is easy to work around – just copy the file
in place – so it's pretty minor. Sorry for noticing right after you
committed "-f"!

Best,
Vincenzo
