Hello PerlMonks, I have a problem where i have 2 variable holding the directory location say 
$dir1 = "c:\temp";
$dir2 = "c:\docs";

[download]
i have a script which walks recursivley through c:\temp This directory has many sub-directories within sub-directories and files and extracts a file. I have to extract the file and place it in c:\docs and at the same time maintain the same directory structure. That is if the file is present in c:\temp\in-temp\file1.txt then this file file1.txt has to be extracted to c:\docs\in-temp\file1.txt. I do not know how to go about extracting only in-temp and creating it in c:\docs\ and then putting the file. I would be extremely grateful if you could please help me to do this.
