#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $path="/foo/bar/";
opendir (DIR, $path) or die "Could not open directory: $!";
@files = readdir(DIR);
foreach my $file (@files) {
print "$file\n";
}
Your foreach loop was incorrect. Use of strict and warnings also helps spot errors.
You could also replace the foreach loop with a map statement:
print map {$_ = "$_\n";} @files;

Update: I ignored the -d test, and obviously don't know my foreach loop from my elbow. Oops. ides++ and boo_radley++

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
