Why aren't you using rsync for this?
You can write it by hand in Perl, but rsync is the Swiss Army knife of
file copy tools; a problem like this would be no trouble at all with it.
$ rsync dir1 dir2 targetdir
There are dozens of command line flags that can fine-tune this, but even
this simple version should get you close to what you need.

It looks like you may be a Windows user. If you have Cygwin, rsync is
available there, or you can follow instructions similar to these:

Perl's a great tool, but sometimes, other things are *much* easier.
