use File::Find; my $command="cp"; my $target="/home/kiruthika/Technical/NEW/"; #Here mention your direct +ory path to where you need to copy the files. my $str; find(\&wanted,(".","..",)); sub wanted() { if(/.*\.txt/)#find the .txt files and copy those into another loca +tion. { $str=$command." ".$_." " .$target; system("$str"); $str=" "; } }

find() function will call the wanted function for each files in the current directory and as well in the parent directory of the current directory.

In the wanted function I have checked whether the file is .txt file or not.
If it is .txt file then I have copied that file into the target directory.

In find() function ,in the second argument you mention the directories to be searched.
