Update 1: I am using WindowsOS. \\ worked for rename so using the same for copy as well.

Update 2: I did try with or die "Copy failed: $!" but returned "Copy failed: at c:\perl_scripts\copy_rename.pl line 33."

Update 3: I want to archive the file in a different directory with timestamp after processing it. Hope that helps

Code : 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Piece;
use File::Copy;

my $toDate = localtime->strftime('%F %T');

foreach my $file (glob "C:\\data\\app\\AppSpecific1\\In\\test*")
{

    my $archiveFileName = $file."_".$toDate.".txt";
    
    print "copy $file, $archiveFileName\n";

    copy ($file, "C:\\data\\app\\AppSpecific1\\Archive\\".$archiveFile
+Name) or die "Copy failed: $!";
    
}
