If possible, move() will simply rename the file. Otherwise,
it copies the file to the new location and deletes the original.

Thanks. I use File::Copy but I did not find anything
that duplicates the Move (Copy\Delete) functionality.
I could just do a system 'rm ', but I was looking
for something a little cleaner.
To delete, you might try unlink:
perldoc -f unlink
to copy or move (rename) you could use File::Copy:
#!

You might try File::Copy.
