note CountZero Even on Windows the forward slash in filepaths works. That saves you a lot of escaping.<c>use Modern::Perl; my $dirname = 'c:/data/eps'; opendir( DIR, $dirname ); my @files = readdir(DIR); foreach my $file (@files) { my $file_path = "$dirname/$file"; say "File path: $file_path"; } closedir DIR; </c>Output<c>File path: c:/data/eps/. File path: c:/data/eps/.. File path: c:/data/eps/agrafort.jpg File path: c:/data/eps/alazif File path: c:/data/eps/ARF.jpg File path: c:/data/eps/ARF.png ...</c>For anything more complicated than a simple list of all files in a directory, [module://File::Find::Rule] is something to think about (and it gives you the full file path).<!-- Node text goes above.
