       This plugin copies all of the files from the source to the staging prefix.  This is mainly useful for
       software packages that are provided as binary blobs.  It works on both Unix and Windows using the
       appropriate commands for those platforms without having worry about the platform details in your
       alienfile.

       If you want to filter add or remove files from what gets installed you can use a "before" hook.

        build {
          ...
          before 'build' => sub {
            # remove or modify files
          };
          plugin 'Build::Copy';
          ...
        };

       Some packages might have binary blobs on some platforms and require build from source on others.  In that
       situation you can use "if" statements with the appropriate logic in your alienfile.

        configure {
          # normally the Build::Copy plugin will insert itself
          # as a config requires, but since it is only used
          # on some platforms, you will want to explicitly
          # require it in your alienfile in case you build your
          # alien dist on a platform that doesn't use it.
          requires 'Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Copy';
        };

        build {
          ...
          if($^O eq 'linux')
          {
            start_url 'http://example.com/binary-blob-linux.tar.gz';
            plugin 'Download';
            plugin 'Extract' => 'tar.gz';
            plugin 'Build::Copy';
          }
          else
          {
            start_url 'http://example.com/source.tar.gz';
            plugin 'Download';
            plugin 'Extract' => 'tar.gz';
            plugin 'Build::Autoconf';
          }
        };
