This seems like a job for the dirmove command in the File::Copy::Recursive module.
# (untested)
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Copy::Recursive qw(dirmove);
my $dir= "c:/startdir";
my $dir2="c:/mlx";
if (dirmove($dir1,$dir2)) {
print "MOVED DIRECTORY [$dir1] TO [$dir2]\n";
} else {
print "[Error] UNABLE TO MOVE DIRECTORY [$dir1] TO [$dir2] - [$!]\n"
+;
}
BTW: I would always use forward slashes in filepaths on Windows. It works the same and you never have to worry about the escaping issues of backslashes. Not to mention that your code is more portable too :-)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
