You did not say which version of port you had tried. Here
File::Copy::move() works (perl 5.8.2_2 on FreeBSD 4.8-Release-p14)
...
rm -rf r
touch p
ls -l p
perl -MFile::Copy -e \
' die "'p' does not exist" unless -e "./p";
move("p" , "r") or die "$!";
'
ls -l p r
perl -MFile::Copy -e \
' die "'p' does not exist" unless -e 'p';
move("p" , "r") or die "$!";
'
...gives...
-rw------- 1 parv people 0 Jan 28 20:36 p
ls: p: No such file or directory
-rw------- 1 parv people 0 Jan 28 20:36 r
p does not exist at -e line 1.

Well, my problem was that the port did. That is perl5.8 port installs
both pods & man pages. I had to do something, don't remember what,
so that man pages are not installed.
