Is there a way to call or maybe get the # of files in a
directory?
The simplest way is to use opendir() and readdir().
opendir my($dh), $path or die "can't opendir $path: $!";
my @files = readdir $dh;
closedir $dh;
Now you have the files from the directory $path in the array @files. The
number of elements is the number of files.
