no, I posted my code in the readmore tags, in my original post. What happened is that initially I was only doing this in the dir that was specified at the command line, but later decided to add the ability to recurse dirs. my original code concatenated the dir onto the $key so that it copied appropriately, but when I added recursion, I could not longer copy the files in the same way, problem is I have no idea how best to proceed.

Take a look at the rest of my code? Thanks.

update: apologies, if that came off inappropriately, I was really just meaning to ask to have another look. Thanks for the pointer, I will take a look at File::Find:dir. One question, though. Does the logic make sense to get the filename for the second dir? I am probably just missing something obvious. I appreciate the help. Thanks again.
