> system ('copy d:\server\vsiwork\*.tag d:\server\vsiout'); 

btw, for security reasons, you might want to consider converting that
to

 system qw/ copy d:\server\vsiwork\*.tag d:\server\vsiout /;

or to be more visually explicit for nuB's,

 system ('copy','d:\server\vsiwork\*.tag','d:\server\vsiout'); 

To be honest, however, on our system the security isn't such an issue,
so I occasionally use the originally given single-string syntax as
well. :)

Since you're obviously on a WinDOZE system, though, make sure you don't
use doublequotes around file paths; "d:\server\vsiwork\*.tag"
interpolates the backslashes, so you end up with a string that looks
like d:servervsiwork*.tag

Luck and fun, bud.
Paul
