in thread copying files with system()

using this code: 
#!D:\perl\bin\perl 
use File::Copy;

$listFile = "list.txt";

open(LIST, $listFile) ||
  die "Cant open $listFile : $!";
while(<LIST>) {
  copy("\\\\$_\\c$\\testtxt.txt,C:\\resologs,");
}
close(LIST);

I get this error: Usage: copy(FROM, TO , BUFFERSIZE) at C:\scripts\perl\GetLogFiles2.pl line 9. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

    As ichimunki said in (ichimunki) Re: copying files with system(), you can just use regular unix type pathes such as copy("/testtxt.txt", "/resologs/");, to avoid having to escape the path for windows.

    update:
    Taken from CB: <tye> copy("file1,file2") is not the same as copy("file1","file2")
