Please post the current version of the script and mention what Operating System and what Shell you have.

We would expect changes to these original lines because of out-of-context backticks:
Quote:
`mkdir $_w/$_owner/`
`mv $f $_w/$_owner/`
There are ambiguty issues with $_w and $_wb . Try using "${_w}" and "${_wb}" .

Do any of your filenames or directory names contain space characters or characters special to Shell (e.g. colon)? If so, the "for" statement needs to be a "while" statement.

Btw. If there are no subdirectories under /path/to/backups the script can be much improved.

cpanplus::shell

CPANPLUS::Shell(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					CPANPLUS::Shell(3)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells

SYNOPSIS

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell; 	    # load the shell indicated by your
					    # config -- defaults to
					    # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic]  # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic;

	   my $ui      = CPANPLUS::Shell->new();
	   my $name    = $ui->which;	    # Find out what shell you loaded

	   $ui->shell;			    # run the ui shell

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"
       shell.

       Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
       loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.
