I don't believe there's any way to do matching/substitution on {} so I believe what you really need to do is have xargs invoke some script that you write, rather than calling mv, and have your script do the actual mv. That way, you can make substitutions in the path for where you want to move the file to. And, for the directory structure, I would use "mkdir -p" to create the hierarchy. In fact, you could just call it before each move. You only have to give it the path to the final directory and, if necessary, it will create all intermediate sub-directories. If it already exists, then it does nothing.

test::data
Data(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Data(3pm)
NAME
Test::Data -- test functions for particular variable types
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Data qw(Scalar Array Hash Function);
DESCRIPTION
Test::Data provides utility functions to check properties and values of data and variables.
Functions
Plug-in modules define functions for each data type. See the appropriate module.
How it works
The Test::Data module simply imports functions from Test::Data::* modules. Each module defines a self-contained function, and puts that
function name into @EXPORT. Test::Data defines its own import function, but that does not matter to the plug-in modules.
If you want to write a plug-in module, follow the example of one that already exists. Name the module Test::Data::Foo, where you replace
Foo with the right name. Test::Data should automatically find it.
BUGS
I'm not a very good Windows Perler, so some things don't work as they should on Windows. I recently got a Windows box so I can test things,
but if you run into problems, I can use all the patches or advice you care to send.
