Hi, seems a bit complicated for just doing a copy function, why not try, something like this: 
#! usr/bin/perl -w
use File::Copy;
my @list = <C:\LOCATION\*.rtf>;
foreach my $file(@list){
copy ($file,"C:\Temp\");
}

However, if you wanted to save on the typing you could use a system call (DOS version shown below, I think this'll probably be slower though), you could write this like: 
#! usr/bin/perl -w
system ("copy /y LOCATION\\*.rtf C:\Temp");

[download]
this just uses a DOS copy command (the /y is just so that you're not prompted when a file is being overwritten)
