To move a file, use the Perl rename() function.  To copy, you can use the File::Copy module.

        use File::Copy;
        copy($origfile,$newfile);

Same as on any other version of Perl.  There are some MacPerl-specific copying functions in the Mac::MoreFiles module, but they are not necessary.  Actually, File::Copy uses Mac::MoreFiles when run by MacPerl.
