Your question has been answered, this is my answer to the question you didn't (directly) ask, how can I easily find all (nonempty) files with a '.wgt' extension in a specified path.

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Find::Rule;

my $search_path = '.';

my @files = File::Find::Rule
    ->name('*.wgt')
    ->file
    ->nonempty
    ->in($search_path);

foreach my $file (@files) {
    # do something with '$file'
}
[download]

The downside is that File::Find::Rule is not a core module yet, but my opinion is that it should be. Anyway the great power of Perl stands in the huge library of modules on CPAN.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
