copy() there comes from File::Copy. At the top of the script (line 39,
specifically) you should have:

use File::Copy;

which is provided by:

perl-modules: /usr/share/perl/5.20.2/File/Copy.pm

The "perl" package (which you appear to have installed) depends on the
"perl-modules" package.

Can you check that you have the above file, and what it's size and
permissions are?
