that does help! (meanwhile I got a version working that uses system(), just as a
stopgap...)

However I really don't want to use system() (or any process spawning things) and
since I want to wildcard aren't I going to have to use glob() to get an array of
filehandles? However,

http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/glob.html

says glob returns a list of filename expansions... do they mean names rather
than handles? If so, then ya, all set.

Does this code help? It shows the outputs. Decided to have a fiddle with what
Ross posted to see what everything did.

Tim

use File::Glob ':glob';
use File::Basename;

$ddn="destination directory";

@t=(<g:/docs/in_progress/nanotubes/*.*>);
foreach $f (@t)
{
    $bn=basename($f);
    $dn=dirname($f);
    print "cp $dn/$bn $ddn/$bn\n";
}
