Hello, Thanks for the help. I decided to go with the for loop way as it seems to work nicely. I made some changes as the time was a bit confusing however date seem to be a bit better on the eye's. I just relized that I also need to deal with .zip.meta files aswell. How could I change this so, if it's .zip then it renames it or if it's .zip.meta that it also renames the files to the time stamp aswell? 
foreach my $upload (@uploads) {
         my $newName = $upload;
         $newName =~ s/\.zip$/-${mday}-${mon}-${year}.zip/;
         copy ($logSite . ${upload}, $localCpPath . $newName)or die "F
+ailed to copy";
         print "File $upload has been copied over and renamed $newName
+\n";
         $count++
         }
