Thanks I was looking to strip off the . and .. from the list returned as what I am wanting to do is travel down a directory tree opening files and checking to make sure they are valid, this is for a project I am working on to store results of tests into a database. I am on windows system so my filenames don't start with a period, I managed to get my list of directories now I would like to open the files within those directories but I don't think this is quite right.
opendir(DIR, "c:\\mlx\\") || die "can't opendir: $!";
@list = grep { $_ ne '.' && $_ ne '..'&& $_ ne 'copy.pl' }
@list=readdir(DIR);
foreach $name (@list)
{
print $name, "\n";
opendir(DIR, $name);
@files=readdir(DIR);
foreach $file(@files){
print "filename is ", $file, "\n";
}
#opendir(DIR, "$_")||die "Not able to open directory $!";
@files=readdir(DIR);
foreach(@files)
{
print $_, "\n";
}
}
this runs but I its not giving me all the files.
I have files in each directory it looks to be returning for only one of them.

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).

are good places to start.
