We can offer more and better help if you provide us with a precise and detailed translation of "doesn't work."

The Monastery's crystal ball has been out of service for some time. It doesn't work.

Update and PS: I don't see a statement in the form which appears in your narrative, system ($CP, $srcfile, $dstfile); an instantiation of $CP, nor any reason to surround the CLI in Ln7 with backticks (`) since you've invoked system. Since you've created an ID/handle and account, you can edit your OP... but please include a note identifying what you've changed, added, deleted or otherwise amended.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
