Awesome, system("copy \"$copyfile\" \"$directoryexists\" ");

worked great.

Either enclose the filenames in double quotes:

   system("copy \"$sourcefile\" \"$destdir\" ");

or use Win32API::File as so:

   use Win32API::File;

   Win32API::File::CopyFile("$sourcefilename","$destfilenamewithdir",0);

The latter could be faster, especially for large numbers of small files.

Subject: copying files

Hi, I was just wonder if
anyone has a solution to this problem.

I am trying copy a set of files into a directory.
The directory has spaces in it's name.

For example, z - test - test. But
when I try to copying the filenames
in using system("copy $copyfile") command,
I am getting the following error : "The system cannot find the file
specified".
Any ideas?

thanks,

John
