I'm not sure if this code will help , but i have used file find to perform a force copy of every file present inside a set of directories and the sub directories to another directory.These folders have pictures in them which have been sorted and reside in individual sub directories .for eg.

folder1
|-nature
|  |-animals
|  |-sky
|  |  |-night
|  |  |-day
|  |    |-silouttes
|  |-flowers
|-cars

and everything gets moved in bin mode to another single folder.

#!usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use File::Find;
use File::Copy;
my @location=("C:/folder1","C:/folder2");
my $new_location="C:/moved_files";

foreach my $location(@location){
print "\n$location\n";
find(\&force_move,$location);

}
sub force_move(){
my $file=$_;
print "\n $file";
my $out = "$new_location/$file";
if (-d "$file"){

}
else {
if ($file ne "."){
open   (OUTBIN, '>',"$out") || die "unable to open $out";
binmode(OUTBIN)                || die "unable to set binmode $out";
print "\n$out\n";
}
}
}

print "I am done!!!!";
sleep(2);

• 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).
