I am working on a bit of logic to be used in a script that copies new files
to a temporary directory and I am stumped. Basically what I want to
accomplish is to be able to look for the existence of a file name in a log
file, and I am trying to use a hash to accomplish this.
$directory is the listing of the current files in the directory
$dir_log currently is file containing the same information as $directory.
I am trying to see if the elements of $directory exist as keys in the hash,
but it isn't working.
Suggestions/Observations?

open MYFILE, "<dir_log";
while (<MYFILE>) {
$dir_log{chomp($_)} = 1;
}
chomp ($directory = `dir /b /O-D`);
foreach ($directory) {
print "success" if (exists $dir_log{$directory});
}
