Bit heavy handed perhaps but I was at a bit of a loose end...

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use POSIX;
use File::Copy;

$srcdir = '/source1';
$dstdir = '/target1';

opendir(DIR, "$srcdir");
@FILES= readdir(DIR);
foreach $file (@FILES) {
        chomp $file;

        print "current file is: **$file** \n";
        next unless -f $file;
        copy($srcdir . "/" . $file, $dstdir . "/" . $file) or die "File cannot be copied.";
        }

Specifically looking only to copy files...

The one command would be ./script.pl Smilie
