Hi Monks,

I'm trying to move log files in a remote directory (share) to a folder created in that share, but when I run the perl script, it only creates a the time stamped folder and does not move the log files in the share directory into the new one. What am I doing wrong????

Thanks for you help! 

use POSIX;
use File::Copy;

my $WLpath = '\\\\10.1.1.5\\Weblogiclogs\\' . strftime( '%y%m%d%H%M', 
+localtime);

########################################
# Creating directory based on time stamp
########################################
{
   mkdir  $WLpath or die "Couln't create $WLpath because $!($^E)\n";
}

##############
sub Move_Logs 
##############
{
my $logs = "\\\\192.168.2.5\\Weblogiclogs\\*.log";
my $target = $WLpath;

move("$logs", "$target") or die ("move from $target to $logs was unsuc
+essful because - $!($^E)\n");

}
