Bravo for dumping vbscript!
You'll find Perl much easier, platform independent, and just generally more cool!
So are you copying a directory(s) basically?
Instead of translating line by line (which would be confusing and a lot of unnecessary
work and code)
Determine what you need to do and do it fresh.
I'd recommend looking at search.cpan.org for one of the File:: modules.
(search.cpan.org is your friend and so is perldoc: perldoc -h)
For instance take your vbscript version and compare to this:
(doesn't seem to copy directory structures but a liitle more involved will)
use File::Copy;
copy('/home/file1','/home/file2') or die "Copy failed: $!";
