    So, what Perl code did you write, for example using the modules I mentioned already, and how does it fail to do what you need?

[reply]
      my $sorce_direcrtory = $input_dir;
    my $new_directory = $output_dir;

    opendir(my $dh, $sorce_direcrtory) || die;
    while(readdir $dh) {
        if($_ =~ /.csv/){
            copy("$sorce_direcrtory/$_", "$new_directory/$_");
        }
    }
    closedir $dh;

        Usually, Perl also outputs the exact line number where the warning occurs. What line number does your code output?

        I find it unlikely that opendir would succeed but then readdir should return undef.

        Let me recommend to you, again, File::Find, which makes iterating over a directory tree somewhat easier.
