Hi
You have to construct both paths before using system with mv command, the best way as "Clint" suggested using File::Copy::move command.

untested code

my $src_filename = "/home/abc/abc.txt";
my $dst_filename = "/xyz/bcd/abc.txt";
$ret = system("mv $src_filename $dst_filename");
print "Move Status : $ret";
