in thread print copy source and destination

What do you actually want printed? Print and copy are orthogonal operations - I don't understand how it makes sense to "put the print command directly into the copy command" unless you mean to modify the copy sub to print its parameters.

if you want a modified copy sub you could:

sub myCopy {
    my ($source, $target) = @_;

    print "Copying from $source to $target\n");
    return ©
}

    If you want an "invisible" wrapper (useful for instance if the 'copy' function uses Carp), replace the 'return' by 'goto'.
