Thanks, but there is still problems:
I get this output:
indir= M:\AllFiles, outdir=n:\allFiles
indir size=0 outdir size=0
indir= M:\AllFiles, outdir=n:\allFiles
indir size=0 outdir size=0
indir= M:\AllFiles\*, outdir=n:\allFiles
indir size=0 outdir size=0
This tells me that the -s function isn't working
which means it still isn't reading the directory information
Eventually, I want to check to see if there is enought
room, then execute a move function.
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Copy;
# yes, it is Windows XP and a drive letters assigned to a USB and a NA
+S drive.
# Indir and outdir will be a parameter in this format.
my $inDir = "M:\\AllFiles";
my $outDir = "n:\\allFiles";
# test 1 straight in out in DOS format.
MoveFiles($inDir,$outDir);
# test 2 Try within quotes.
MoveFiles("$inDir","$outDir");
# test 3 Try selecting ALL files in the directory
MoveFiles($inDir."\\*", $outDir);
sub MoveFiles {
my ( $source, $destination ) = @_;
my $source_size = (-s $source) || 0;
my $destination_size = (-s $destination) || 0;
move( $source, $destination ) if ($destination_size > $source_size);
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
