Welcome Leetsauce,

If your script works for 1 ( then it will work for many ), then you only need to show us the following:

my %compHash = ( "e:/pervasive/staging/summit/C01" => "e:/pervasive/test/APEX01201 +5/C01", ); foreach my $key(keys %compHash) { my $value = $compHash{$key}; my $ret = move($key , $value); if ( $ret ) ## If $ret == 1, then success { print "Successfuly moved |$key| to |$value| .\n"; } else { print "|$key| not moved to |$value|: $!\n"; } }
plus any additional output you might expect. ( Notice I put '|' before and after the '$key' and '$value', to catch any spaces )

From the documentation from 'File::Copy', it states 'move' works on files. Are the keys and values you are working with directories?

Regards...Ed
