> 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.
