Sorry Tim, you chose a problem that looks simple, but isn't. Here's the code to move 
an arbitrary file or directory:

Hey Perlers,

  I asked this before, but I am still stuck, and never got a workable
  solution.

  Is there a way in perl to move a directory?  Similar to unix "mv"
  command where you move a dir to another location (I am not crossing
  boundaries).  I am on M$ Win2k, but the unix "mv" command is the
  easiest way to describe what I need.

  Yes I have tried the move feature of File::Copy. It creates the
  destination directory then gives a "Permission denied" error - yes, I
  have admin rights.
