Here is one way:
open X, output.txt;
while () {
s/^\s*//;
print X $_;
}
close X;
Since it looks like you are coming from unix environment, you could do:
format.pl *.txt
which will read in all files one after the other automatically. Now if you
want some breakout, then we will
In your die command, say:
die cannot open $LINE: $!\n;
This will give you a hint as to what's going wrong.

Hello Jennifer
ls format is OS dependant. On Solaris ls returns a multiple column list, so the first
