Re^5: file is not getting copied

... at C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\perl_programs\copyfn.pl line 7

means that the error was found when Perl ran the line number 7 in the named program. This has nothing to do with $copy_from or $copy_to, but it helps you to know what command failed.

So my confusion is how to resolve this problem ? I am giving source and destination properly and files do exist in specified location. I am using copy function properly. SO why is it not working ? Thanks	[reply]

If it is not working, at least one of your assumptions is wrong. Test them one by one: `# Test if $copy_from exists: -f $copy_from or die "File '$copy_from' does not exist"; # Test if the directory for $copy_to exists: use File::Basename; my $target_dir = dirname($copy_to); -d $target_dir or die "Target directory '$target_dir' does not exist";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
