Copy List Item to other list in SharePoint using Powershell

#  In the below code, there are five custom variables
## $srcListSiteUrl : Site url where the source list is present
## $SourceListName : Name of the source list
## $dstListSiteUrl : Site url where the destination list is present (In the above code both lists are in the same site)
## $DestinationListName : Name of the destination list
## $keyColumnInternalName : Column name with which we have to check whether to insert or update.
## Note, in the above example $keyColumnInternalName value is ‘Title’. It is Text type. So, the CAML query variable $camlQuery is constructed in that way.
## If you have different data type column which you want to use as a reference column, you have to change the variable accordingly as the column type.
