Hi monks, i had done a code for copying each file from a directory to other. before that i need to change the order of content in each file (i.e the text in each file contains only 2 columns separated by whitespace for ex: tom lee is the content of file1 so the content should be changed as lee tom before copying or after copying,such an action is to be taken on each and every file.)can any one help me with this!!! 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Copy;
$dest="target";
print "source:\n";
chomp(my $source=<STDIN>);
opendir(DIR, $source)
or die "cannot open the directory '$source': $!";
@files = grep { /\.log$/ } readdir (DIR);
foreach $file(@files){
copy "$source/$file", "$dest$file"
or die "can't copy file $file: $!";
}
closedir (DIR);
