Here is what I have so far. It works on an NT PC running Perl from Active
State, but I need to run it on a Novell box. Paths to directories are
different. Im not sure how to type in the paths, the standard
"servername:volume/path/to/dir" does not seem to work. This checks for files
modified in the previous hour on the E drive and moved them to a d:\backups\

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use File::stat;
use File::Copy;
use File::Path;
$now = time;
($SEC, $MIN, $HOUR, $MDAY, $MON, $YEAR, $WDAY,
        $YDAY, $ISDAYLITE)= localtime();
$DAY = sprintf("%02d-%02d-%02d", ++$MON, $MDAY, 1900+$YEAR);
$CURR_HOUR = sprintf("%02d", $HOUR);
&traverse('e:/');
sub traverse {
    local($dir) = shift;
    local($path);
#print "$dir\n";
    unless (opendir(DIR, $dir)) {
        warn "Can't open $dir\n";
        closedir(DIR);
        return;
    }
    foreach (readdir(DIR)) {
        next if $_ eq '.' || $_ eq '..' || ($_=~/perlscripts/i) ;
#Skip if these Dirs are found
        $path = "$dir/$_";

        if (-d $path) {         # a directory
            &traverse($path);
        } elsif (-f _) {        # a plain file

        #print "$path\n";       # Print full path to display

          $date_string = (stat($path)->mtime);
                if ($now - $date_string < 3600) {       # is file modified
in the last hour 
                $dest =$dir;
                $dest =~ s/e:/D:\/Backups\/$DAY\/$CURR_HOUR\/Edrive/g;
#Strip out e: & subst i:
                $dest1 = "$dest/$_";
                # print "Backing up $path TO Hourly Backup Drive...\n";
                mkpath ("$dest");
                copy $path, $dest1;
                }
        }
    }
    closedir(DIR);
}

I think it is unlikely that you will find any samples on the web like this
(but ya never know).

Frankly though it sounds like a simple problem, maybe less than 10 lines of
code depending on the complexity.  You might want to look at the docs for
File::Find and File::Copy to get some ideas.

Anyone know any good site for example scripts,  specifically for moving or
coping files that meet certain criteria?
