No, you'll have to translate it to shell, like

Code:

FILES1=$(ls $DIR/$NAME*)
FILES2=$(ls $DIR/*.dat)
for FILE in $FILES2
do
    PORT=$(echo "$FILE" | cut -d'_' -f3)
    ID=$(echo "$FILE" | cut -d'_' -f4) | cut -d'.' -f1
#    cp $SDIR/$FILE ??? || echo ""Copy failed: $sdir\\$file !"
# strange path !?
#  copy("$sdir\$file","c:\:\\Perl\\$targetdir\\$file") or die "Copy failed: $sdir\\$file !";
done

Notes:
The indexes with the 'cut' command start with 1 (2=>3, 3=>4, 0=>1).
DIR, NAME, SDIR, TARGETDIR variables should have benn defined previously.
The path with c:\:\\Perl... seems me strange, looks a bit like dos but not unix.
Not complete but hope this helps.
