You could use File::Copy with File::Find instead of 

system ("mv $fil_nm ./reports")

[download]
like so: 
use warnings;
use strict;

use File::Copy qw(move);
use File::Spec;
use Cwd qw(abs_path);
use File::Find;

my $path      = $ARGV[0];
my $final_dir = File::Spec->rel2abs("./report");
$path = abs_path($path);
find(
    sub {
        chomp;
        return if $_ eq '.' or $_ eq '..';
        move( $_, $final_dir );
    },
    $path
);

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
