I gave it a try...still no go. I then tried to copy a file with it and not a directory...no good either. If I use: 
sub copyFile {
    my $source=shift(@_); my $dest=shift(@_); my $moo=1;
    open(FA,$source); open(F,">$dest");
    binmode(F); binmode(FA);
    while(($moo=read(FA,$buff,4096))>0){ print F $buff; }
    close(FA);close(F);
}

Taken from CopyDocs, I can copy a file no prob from one network computer to the other. But I need to transfer a directory. Hmmm...I may have to breakdown and write a subroutine that uses the above recursively and create the directories.
