You've given us nothing to work on here. Presumably these datasets are for some database -- but there's no way to tell.

If there's some Perl angle to this question, let us know, and we'd be glad to help.

We need more information. What modules are you using? We have no idea what $sam_server is or what it is supposed to be doing.

Also, it is considered polite to mention you have crossposted this on stackoverflow.com

It is more polite to cross-linked cross-postings for maximum collaboration efficiency

but http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22659475/copy-dataset-in-perl was voluntarily removed by its author :/ and so has https://community.emc.com/thread/191552

For what its worth its some remote api stuff https://community.emc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/712655-58258/dmt_9.0_remote_api.pdf

So copying probably entails calling remote api methods until its all copied ... all kind of remotely with remote api methods ... EMC something or maplat

#!/usr/bin/perl

use File::Copy qw(copy);

copy('dataset1.csv', 'dataset2.csv') or die "Failed to copy dataset: $
+!";

This seems to be related to some EMC Storage Resource Management (see eg.). A quick search on CPAN found nothing related. I guess the suite has some Perl libraries, but I did not find them. Seems you'll have to consult the documentation (you know, you can't just guess what the API might be) or at the very least point us to the libraries and their docs. If they are openly accessible. Even better would be to ask at community.emc.com.

In either case, rasgolla, this is not the way to ask a question and definitely not the way to reply to requests for more details! Back to the kinder-garden with you!
