'+' is not a valid file name character.
Start by printing the proposed files to be moved:
I don't know what \+ means?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Copy;
my ($inDir, $outDir) = @ARGV;
opendir (DIR, $inDir) or die "Bad Input Directory $inDir $!\n";
while (my $infile = readdir(DIR))
{
if ($infile =~ 'F\d{8}\.\d{4}\+\d{4}\-\d{4}\+\d{4}_.*')
#like F12345678.1234+1234-9876+3456.....
{
print "$inDir/$infile\n";
}
}
