I am applying my regex here: 
foreach my $dir(@subdirs){
    opendir my $dh, "$topdir/$dir" or die "Error: $!";
    my @files = readdir $dh;
    print "raw files = @files\n";
    @files = grep /^(\d+)(.+)(LacZ|pgK|SD|SU)$/,@files;

    print "$dir -> @files\n";
    foreach my $file(@files){
        system( "mv $topdir/$dir/$file $newdir/$file");
    }
    closedir $dh;
}

I am only getting the subdir under "/home/mgavi/testdir1/RESULTS 2008".
Do I have to grep "/home/lomspace/testdir1/RESULTS 2008/APRIL 2008/Results 09-02-08D"?
I am confused on using grep to get to the files here.
There dirs for each month and under each month there are many "Results" files.
Your wisdom can lead to my enlightenment.
