Hi - thank you all again.

#Firstly, these are not URLs the are paths to files.
Yeah you are right -sorry for using the wrong wording.

#Secondly, are you sure you have permissions to read from/write to the source file and target directory?
Yes I am, I can copy them from the shell . . .

#Please show us the code you are actually using, and how you are calling it.
Sorry, I cant - It is one line within a complete project with Database, daemons, WebGUIs etc. . .
to big, therefore I have provided the stripped down sample file.

#Have you tried quoting the parameters you are passing to the copy command?
Yes - without succsess . . .

Seems like there is a difference in my File::Copy from Perl 5.8.6 and the one from perl 5.10
We are just checking this . . . Regards Alex
