Yes, your code processes file names, not file contents. > PS: I don't see many perl questions here, am I breaking a convention? I believe the official answer to this question would be "The London Perl Mongers list considers on-topic messages that talk about Ponies, Buffy, Beer, and Pie. Everything else should be tagged as 'off-toppic'". As I'm really bad at remembering things and also a non-native speaker, YMMV, wording- and semantic-wise.
