After being informed about the File::Copy module, I started exploring a bit. Since these perl modules have man pages, the apropos command is extremely handy. I tried
apropos File:: and found a list of several utilities in that suite which one can then man File::X to learn more about what is there for the using. As for my original problem with the mv command inside of a system call, I tried the move command as suggested and, after I got the syntax right, it works as advertised. The man page says one can use mv but that did not work on this system.
