Hello, Here is some info about opening and closing files.
You can open a file by using the following syntax: open(DOG,"/home/scotty/data/dogs") || die "Couldn't open DOG.\n"; To Close a file use: close(DOG); For File Globbing try: while($x = </home/scotty/bin/*>) { open(FILE,"$x") || die "Couldn't open $x for reading.\n"; .... } Hope that helps a little. There are tons of tutorials online to give you some good info about all of this..
