Thank you for the replies, I'm using Windows environment: Actually I used to do this manually using admin ID, here users will not get any access. So my intention is to create a script which will be run by user to do so. I wanted to know is there any scope to use encripted password or compile the script in perl, here is something like: 

use File::Copy;

$filetobecopied = "<dir1>\*.*"

$destcopy = "<dir2>";

copy($filetobecopied, $destcopy) or die "File cannot be copied.";

Is ther any scope to user admin id and password? As user can not do any thing else except copying files with this compiled script. Any idea is greatly appreciated.
