Hello,
I need to cp the return values to the "$seqdir"
dir, but nothing is happening. Any ideas?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use DateTime;
use File::Copy;
use File::Find;
use File::stat;
use Time::localtime;


my $now = DateTime->now(time_zone => 'floating');
my $yesterday = $now->subtract(days=>1);
my $year = $yesterday->year;
my $month = $yesterday->month;
my $month_abbr = uc($yesterday->month_abbr);# uppercase string chars
my $day = $yesterday->day;
my $year_abbr = substr "$year",2,2;
my $mdy = $now->strftime("%m-%d-%y");

print "$year\t$year_abbr\t$month\t$month_abbr\t$day\n";
my $root="/Users/mgavi.brathwaite/Desktop/BioinfDev/SequenceAssemblyPr
+oject/Sequencing_Results/RESULTS $year/New Version/Amanda Li/$month_a
+bbr "."$year";
print "$root\n";
my $seqdir = "/Users/mgavi.brathwaite/Desktop/BioinfDev/SequenceAssemb
+lyProject/testdir1";
mkdir $seqdir, 0755;

# I want to use File::stat to determine age of dir 
# to determine if it is recent. This is a filtering 
# process to determine which files to process

my $seq_files = find(\&wanted, $root);
copy("$seq_files","$seqdir") or die "File cannot be copied.";

sub wanted {
    my $targetfile =  $File::Find::name;
    next if $targetfile =~ /xls$/;
    my $mod_time = (-M  $targetfile < 1);
    print "Found it $targetfile\n" if /^(\d+\D\d)_(LacZ|pgK|SD|SU)/;
    # skip unless mod date is less than one day ago
    return if ( (-M  $targetfile < 1) && (/^(\d+\D\d)_(LacZ|pgK|SD|SU)
+/) );    
}
print "done\n";
