I'm not sure if this code will help , but i have used file find to perform a force copy of every file present inside a set of directories and the sub directories to another directory.These folders have pictures in them which have been sorted and reside in individual sub directories .for eg.
folder1
|-nature
| |-animals
| |-sky
| | |-night
| | |-day
| | |-silouttes
| |-flowers
|-cars
and everything gets moved in bin mode to another single folder.
#!usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use File::Find;
use File::Copy;
my @location=("C:/folder1","C:/folder2");
my $new_location="C:/moved_files";
foreach my $location(@location){
print "\n$location\n";
find(\&force_move,$location);
}
sub force_move(){
my $file=$_;
print "\n $file";
my $out = "$new_location/$file";
if (-d "$file"){
}
else {
if ($file ne "."){
open (OUTBIN, '>',"$out") || die "unable to open $out";
binmode(OUTBIN) || die "unable to set binmode $out";
print "\n$out\n";
}
}
}
print "I am done!!!!";
sleep(2);
