It is a very simple solution. All you need to do is read an original directory. Then read your new directory. Then If new directory does not contain a file/folder in original directory, then copy it.

Here is what i came up with a sec ago: 
use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Copy::Recursive qw(rcopy);
use File::Slurp;
use Cwd;

my $cwd = cwd();

my $dir = $ARGV[0];

my $orig_dir = "$cwd/$dir";
my $new_dir  = "$cwd/your/path/";

my @first_scan = read_dir($orig_dir);    #this will build an initial l
+ist
                                         #and put it into @first_scan;
re_scan();

sub re_scan {                            #to rescan over and over whil
+e comparing

    my @new_scan = read_dir($new_dir);

    foreach my $element (@first_scan) {
        if ( $element ~~ @new_scan ) {
            print "$element Already Exists!\n";
        }
        else {
            print "Copying $element to $new_dir\n";
            rcopy( $orig_dir . $element, $new_dir . $element );
        }
    }
    undef(@first_scan);

    for (@new_scan) {
        push( @first_scan, $_ );
    }
    
    undef(@new_scan);
    sleep(3);
    ;
    re_scan();

}

This should work for your scenario as you just need to scan the directory, and if the new directory does not contain somethign that the old dir has in it, it copies it.
