For 'THE PROBLEM' you might want to consider using a loop, with a regex test for the files you want - a suggestion that infers from your text that the $from directory may contain non-.txt files.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
# 1190936
my @sourcefiles = <DATA>;
for $_(@sourcefiles) {
if ($_ =~ /.+?\.txt/ ) {
# process it here -- simulated by;
print $_;
} else {
next;
}
}
__DATA__
foo.bar
bar.txt
baz.bat
blivitz.txt;
nottext
and
somethingelse.txt
Rewriting LN 5 to obtain data from your source directory is left as a (trivial) exercise -- once you do some reading, using perldoc open, for example.
execution:
C:\1190936.pl
bar.txt
blivitz.txt;
somethingelse.txt

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).
