Hi, I am trying to rename all files having _valid.csv to .csv as follows:
abc_valid1.csv to abc.csv
delta_valid1.csv to delta.csv
I though the following code might do the job: 
use File::Copy;

my @list = <D:/CPPDaily/SOURCE/SOURCE/HMS/*_valid1.csv>;

foreach my $file(@list){
  my $from = $_;
  chomp $from;
  (my $to = $from) =~ s/_valid1//g;
  move($from, $to) or die(qq{failed to move $from -> $to});
}

But I am getting unexpected error message: 
'Nov 4 08:00,/home/imanager/cppprod/del.csv' and 'Nov 4 08:00,/home/im
+anager/cppprod/del.csv' are identical (not copied) at Daily.txt line 
+80.
