Hi! I'm trying to find out whether if there is a way to move a file from one directory to another usign perl. For example, I want to move test.shtml from /doc to /main directory. The reason why i'm asking is because I want the perl script to runon crontab and will move files from one directory to another at a particular time.

Thanks.
Julian

Not sure if there is a particular function, but what about;

`mv /path/to/old/file.txt /path/to/new/file.txt`;

Thanks. I thought that was a univ command? I did find a reference rename ("/doc/test.shtml", /new/test.shtml") stating that this command will move files. Do you know if this is true?

Thanks for all your help. Both the methods suggested worked.
