PERL Question

Can anyone tell me if the copy command in PERL has the same functionality as in KSH shell in UNIX or does it actually move the file ??

$cp_stat=system("cp $ENV{OLAMEBSDIR}/data/olam.ddabal$type $ENV{OLAMDIR}/balance/data/olam.ddabal$type.$HeaderDate");

It's the same, since the system() call just runs whatever command is given to it, in this case, the cp command. PERL isn't really doing the copying. The cp command is.
