UNC copy to "Program Files" folder is problematic because of the "space".

The "space" in "Program Files"; is giving me trouble. I'm trying to use
UNC to copy a file from one server to another.

This works:
system(";copy \temp\abc.txt \\99.99.99.99\c$\temp\abc.txt");

This doesn't.
system("copy \temp\abc.txt \\99.99.99.99\c$\Program
Files\abc.txt");

I've tried all kinds of hex and octal solutions:

system("copy \temp\abc.txt \\99.99.99.99\c$\Program\040
Files\abc.txt");

99.99.99.99 represents my IP address.

Thanks,
Don

Don't use system() if you don't need it:

use File::Copy;
copy $src, $dest;
