You're right.
The MoveFile fonction from Windows API does not complains on moving a 
file to itself.

I think that in File::Move, you only need to remove the last check. The 
io layer should also handle the case where the destination file exists 
but that is not the same that the source.
I let C hackers modify the io layer, do you want I to fill a bug report 
in bugzilla or do you handle this ?
