You are kidding right? Try this (you type it at the command prompt - Start|Run|cmd.exe):

C:\>copy /?
Copies one or more files to another location.

COPY [/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/A | /B ] source [/A | /B]
     [+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination [/A | /B]]

  source       Specifies the file or files to be copied.
  /A           Indicates an ASCII text file.
  /B           Indicates a binary file.
  destination  Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new fil
+e(s).
  /V           Verifies that new files are written correctly.
  /N           Uses short filename, if available, when copying a file 
+with a
               non-8dot3 name.
  /Y           Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite a
+n
               existing destination file.
  /-Y          Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
               existing destination file.
  /Z           Copies networked files in restartable mode.

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.  Default is
to prompt on overwrites unless COPY command is being executed from
within a batch script.

To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple f
+iles
for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).

C:\>
[download]

So to do it just type (say this) at the command prompt:

copy blabla.jpg c:\games

copy .\*.jpg c:\all_jpegs
[download]

The DOT dir is the current dir and * is a wildcard that matches anything so .\*.jpg means match anything in the current directory that ends in .jpg. You can call shell from perl like this using backtics

#!/usr/bin/perl
`copy blabla.jpg c:\\games`;
[download]

NOTE you need 2 backslashes everyhwere you want a single backslash because of the special nature of the \ char in strings ie \n is a newline and \\ is a literal backslash.

You can also use the File::Copy module which has the advantage of working across operating systems although somehow I don't see that as a likely issue for you.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Copy;
copy( 'file1', 'file2' );
[download]
