Hi
You can copy it in this way:

PHP Code:
use File::Copy;
my $FileFullPath="abc/def/file";
my $DestinationPath="Your destination path here "; 
copy($FileFullPath,$DestinationPath) or die "Copy failed: $!"; 
Cheers

How about the split command:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$a="abc/def/myfile.txt";
@b=split('/',$a);
print "@b[2]\n";

I assume the requirement is to get the filename from its absolute path.
If yes, Try this.

Code:
use File::Basename;
$filename = basename($filename);
