All 4 of the above I gathered from the OP. I can't tell your intentions from your code comment and print statement.

Some advice: it's best to use absolute paths when performing system. If you use relative paths like "..", then that is relative to the current working directory of the spawned system process (most likely the dir where you launched your program, which may change). Maybe something like this:
my $dest = "$currentdir/.."; # means Z:/SALESD~1/LOGS/ORDERS
my $cmd = "move $originalfilenamequantity $dest";
system($cmd) == 0 or warn("Failed: $cmd");
