I am running this as a daemon, but it's hammering my CPU. I tried BSD::Resource, but I'm sorry to say, I can't figure out how to make it work. I'm a newby on a deadline and I need code help please!Thanks, great ones! 
#!/usr/bin/perl 
use Proc::Daemon;
    Proc::Daemon::Init;
use File::Copy;
       @dirs=qw(/mail/act1/ /mail/act2/ /mail/act3/ /mail/act4/);
       while(1){
           $dir="/mail/main/";
           opendir(MAIN,$dir) or die "Can't open $dir:$!";
           while(defined($file = readdir MAIN)){
               next if $file =~/^\.\.?$/;
               $path=$dir.$file;
               $newdir=@dirs[$i];
               move ($path,"$newdir$file") or die "move failed:$!";
               $i++;
               undef $i if ($i>$#dirs);
                         
           }
       }
