You aren't copying the files with Perl, you are copying the files fith a DOS command which is invoked from Perl.

If your goal is to eliminate the file of zeroes, I would suggest a perl routine to open an input file, copy it line by line to a provided output filehandle, and then close the file. To insert the zeroes, you can simply write to the output filehandle .... except you may need to reopen it in binary mode. Maybe printing "\x00" .. the string containing a single byte with the value 00 ... will work, you can give it a try.

P.S. What does this have to do with "accessing randon number from perl script"?

As Occam said: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
