Perl is case sensitive, so Copy and copy are different. Your issue is on line 13.

Update: Missed the second part of the question. When you use strict;, you must explicitly declare each variable with my. You also appear not to be using copy correctly. Working code: 

use File::Copy;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $dirpath="C:\\inetpub\\performancetesting\\output\\new\\mlx\\aar";
my $dirpath2="c:\\temp";
opendir(IN,"$dirpath") or die "opening directory failed:$!";
while (defined (my $file = readdir(IN)) ) {
    my @files = split / /,$file;

    foreach my $filename (@files)
    {
        copy ("$dirpath".$filename, "$dirpath2".$filename) or warn "Ca
+n't open the file yet $filename\n:$!";
        open INPUT, "<", $dirpath.$filename or die "Open failure: $!";
        until (eof(INPUT)) {
            chomp(my $line = <INPUT>);
            # print contents of the file or do anything
            print "$line";
        }
        close INPUT;
    }
}
 
closedir(IN);
