I have run into a weird issue with moving files. When attempting to move a file from one directory to another.

With in my file system I have the folders:

/mnt/fds-phx/docTmp/coded/ (the from folder) /mnt/fds-phx/plsTrans/98E98657-D4A3-6B6B-EF2990B199D75814/tmp (the to folder)

Now the issue that I am having is when I try to move a file from /mnt/fds-phx/docTmp/coded/ to the directory /mnt/fds-phx/plsTrans/98E98657-D4A3-6B6B-EF2990B199D75814/tmp the file is moved, but the file is moved to /mnt/fds-phx/plsTrans/98E98657-D4A3-6B6B-EF2990B199D75814 instead of /mnt/fds-phx/plsTrans/98E98657-D4A3-6B6B-EF2990B199D75814/tmp

When using the command line to move the file it works perfectly fine. When I use just a string instead of a dynamic string, the move works perfectly fine.

Here is my updated code. 

        # read trans barcode 
        $primer = Util::Util::trim(Util::Util::fileDecode($transFile))
+;
        # set transaction folder path
        my $transPath = $wDir . "plsTrans/" . $primer . "/tmp/.";
        
        system("mv $transFile $transPath");
        
        if(-d $transPath){
            system("mv $transFile $transPath");
        }
