Lately I find myself using File::Find more and more often...

Here this schould help you...

#Used to recurse through directories and files
use File::Find;
#Used to copy directory strucutre of "USERS"
use File::Path;
#Used to copy each file to its directory
use File::Copy;

#No trailing slash on any of the following
#Specify directory to copy
$old_dir = '/site/users';
#Specify directory to backup to
$new_dir = '/backup/users';

print "Copy Directory structure of $old_dir - ";
mkpath([$old_dir, $new_dir], 1, 0777) || die "\n\tCouldn't copy $old_d
+ir '$!'";
print "Successful\n";

print "Copying files to new directory -\n";
find(\&each_file,"$old_dir/") || die "\n\tCouldn't copy files '$!'";
print "Succssful\n";

sub each_file{
   my $FilePath = $File::Find::name; #Specified comlete location to fi
+le
   #Location to move to
   my $MovePath = $FilePath;
   $MovePath=~s/\Q$old_dir\E/\Q$new_dir\E/i; #Do this so it doesn't in
+terpret "dir" vairables as regexp
   print "Copying file $_ - ";
   copy($FilePath,$MovePath);
   print "Successful\n";
}
