Copy the latest file to a directory

Hi Team,
I wish to copy the latest file of pattern "MyFile*" to some other location.
I need to do all the operation in a single command separated by |.

ls -rt <MyFile*> | tail -1 | <copy command>.

How can I do?
Please help me.

Thanks,
Kanda

NAME
pom2 - convert POD to Text, HTML, etc., with Pod::POM SYNOPSIS
pom2 text MyFile.pm > MyFile.txt pom2 html MyFile.pm > MyFile.html pom2 pod MyFile.pm > Myfile.pod pom2 format [options] MyFile.pm > Myfile.xyz DESCRIPTION
This script uses "Pod::POM" to convert a Pod document into text, HTML, back into Pod (e.g. to normalise a document to fix any markup errors), or any other format for which you have a view module. If the viewer is not one of the viewers bundled with "Pod::POM", the script searches for an installed "Pod::POM::View" module that matches the specified format. For example if you have "Pod::POM::View::DocBook" installed then you could say: pod2 docbook MyFile.pm > MyFile.xml If any options other than "--help" are specified then they are passed to the constructor method of the view class. For example: pod2 docbook --root=chapter --titlecasing MyFile.pm > MyFile.xml would convert the Pod document to a DocBook chapter document with the titlecasing option enabled. Note that any string prefixed by ""--"" is taken as a valid option and passed to the constructor; if no value is specified then a value of 1 is passed in. AUTHOR
