Re^2: counter of files? something else?

• Does @files change during the loop? otherwise, you'll end up with $count having always the same value.
• if you are inside a loop, the my variables are only for that one iteration. Is this what you want?
• $count is not a very good variable name

I think you want:

• before the foreach loop: my $file_number = 0;
• in the loop: $file_number += 1;

Plus you seem to get the sigils wrong - see the first part of → perldata:
@whatever is an array, a single element of that array is $whatever[123]. @whatever[123] is an array slice.

- No, @files doesn't change through the loop.

- That's a good point. I'll try it differently.

- Ok, thank you for the suggestion.

I'll try the two final bullet points!

As for arrays/elements/slices: thank you, I normally get them right, I mixed it up a bit when trying to explain myself.
