Dear monks

I am doing a simple program to copy certain files into another directory.

Input files:

050904jv.abs.htm

050904jv_master.txt.htm

050904jv.txt.htm

I am creating a newfolder structure with certain conditions and copying all the files into that folder except master file.

I want to move master file in the final_files folder.

When i run my coding its copying all the files into the folder structure but the master file is not moving to the final_files folder.

I dont know where i am going wrong, i have tried in many ways but i could not able to find the bug. Here i am posting that part of the code

use strict;
use File::Copy;
opendir (DIR, "$ARGV[0]") || die ("cannot open the directory");

my $file = $ARGV[0];
my @dir = readdir (DIR);
my @files;

chdir($ARGV[0]);
my $input = <STDIN>;
chop($input);
my $dir;
my $k;
foreach $dir (@dir)
{

    if ($dir =~ /^(\d{2})\d+([a-z]{2})(.*?)\.htm$/i)
    {
    mkdir ($1);
    mkdir ("$1\/Final_Files");
    $k=$input.$1.$3;
    rename ($dir, $k);
    move ($k, "$1\/Final_Files\/$k") if ($dir !~ /master/gsi);
    move ($k, "$1\/Final_Files") if ($dir =~ /master/gsi);
    }

}

Thanks in advance
