File/Dir Copy: Take paths from text file and copy to another location Can't Post
Hi All,

I'm an extreme noob to Perl. I'm trying to find a script that will read a text file (notepad) that contains several paths to directories and files, and make a copy of the directories and files to another network share. I've searched CPAN, but the closest thing I was able to find is Win32:FileOp. Does anyone know if this is even possible to do? Thanks in advance!

Regards,
fivetoolz

The same problem has kept another thread burning. Just go through the previous thread in this very section Kevin has suggested two modules and mkdir() command there. After his and Fishmonger's post I tried to solve the (similar) problem. I am trying to use the following
Code
use File::CheckTree;  
use File::Copy;  
mkdir ("newfold");  
move ("/root/Documents/$new1[$index]","/root/Documents/newfold");
If you go through the previous thread may be you can understand the above said better.This was actually someone else's problem and I just stepped in.
So now we three are collectively waiting for a solution.
