First, you could just have Perl do the file copy... Check out
perldoc -m "file::copy"
F> When I run the above line from a DOS command prompt this is the

F> File not found - D:\TEST\INPUT.PS
F> 0 file(s) copied
This error is coming from the copy command, and is indicating the
file does not exist...
