I am writing a little script to move all files from one directory to another, and delete the files from the original directory. This is what I have so far, 
my $Error_Path      = "\\\\server\\share\\new_error\\";
my $EAI_Error_Path  = "\\\\server\\share\\old_error\\";
my $file;

opendir DIR, $EAI_Error_Path;
my @file = grep {$_ ne '.' && $_ ne '..'} readdir DIR;
closedir DIR;

foreach $file (@file){
    $cmd = "copy \"".$EAI_Error_Path.$file[$i]."\" \"". $Error_Path.$f
+ile[$i]."\"";
    system ($cmd) or die "?";
    unlink $EAI_Error_Path.$file;
      $i++;
}
close MYFILE;

My question is, how do I check if the system command was succesful? Or, I only want to delete the file if it's been copied... Thanks monks.
