Hi all:

The title I'm sure sounds familar but I have been unable to find much to help. So I came up with the following but I'm thinking there is a better way.

What I need to do is copy directories and their files based on the directory name. The directory name is assigned by the Oracle SR module, so an example could be "SR1520931" and it is copied to the directory of ".../SR15xxxxx/SR152xxxx/SR1520xxx/"

Here is the section where I question the efficiency

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($VHOST);
ssh->rsync_get({glob => 1, verbose => 1, times => 1},
($anon_d/'%4sxxxxx'/'%5sxxxx'/'%6sxxx'/$SRdir/\"$df\"), (substr($SRdir
+,0,4),substr($SRdir,0,5),substr($SRdir,0,6)));

Using rsync to pull a copy of the dir&files and put them into the appropriate directory.

This works, but is there a better way?

Many thanks
