Ok, so I chdir. The deal is that the subdir is based on
the script looking at the most recent subdir.
Next month the "FEB 2009/Results %m-%d-%y" subdirs
will be created under "RESULTS 2009". Now there will
be "JAN 2009" and "FEB 2009" subdirs with
"Results %m-%d-%y" subdirs.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::stat;
use Time::localtime;
use File::Copy;
use File::Find;
use POSIX qw(strftime);


#=for
my $tm = localtime;
my $YEAR= $tm->year+1900;
my $MONTH = $tm->mon;

#my $subdir = strftime "Results %m-%d-%y", localtime;
#my $YEAR=year+1900;
#my $MONTH =
#my $YR_RESULT_dir = strftime "RESULTS $YEAR", localtime;
my $Month_YR_dir = strftime "$MONTH $YEAR", localtime;
my $newdir = '/home/mgavi/testdir1/$Month_YR_dir/';
print "$monthyr";
my $root='/home/mgavi/testdir1';
my $seqdir = "/home/mgavi/testdir2/SeqAssembly";
print "$YEAR $MONTH $root\n";
opendir (my $dh, $root);
chdir($newdir); # the new subdir to search
my @files=readdir $dh;
for my $f (@files){
    my $mod_time=-M $monthyr."/".$f;
    #skip unless modification date is less than one day ago
    next if $f eq '.' || $f eq '..' || $mod_time > 1.0;
    print $f,"\t",$mod_time,"\t",ctime(stat($newdir."/".$f)->mtime),"\
+n";
    copy("$f","$seqdir");
}
closedir $dh;

I get

when I run the script
