Hi Monks, I am newbie here.. and also in perl learning... actually i want to create a new folder with Date and time stamp like folder name "man" along with that it must date when i ran the time.. so please can any one help me over it..ASAP. thanks in advance.

Update:

Hi Monks .. i have doubt on relative paths... i am using Absolute paths.. like this..Program is copying from source to destination. 
mkdir "C:\\$dir1\\BC_TESTCASES";

$copy_s= "C:\\SPED_TDSCDMA_IRAT_PRODUCT\\BC_TESTCASES";
    
$copy_d= "C:\\$dir1\\BC_TESTCASES";

system "copy \"$copy_s\" \"$copy_d\" ";

mkdir "..\\BC_TESTCASES";

$copy_s= "..\\BC_TESTCASES";

print "$copy_s";
    
$copy_d= "$dir1/BC_TESTCASES";

system "copy \"$copy_s\" \"$copy_d\" ";
