Hiya. Your question is rather unclear - do you want to store the files' contents' in the variables or just the filenames? In either case you will need `readdir`. In case you want to read the files, you will also need `open` and `close` as well as the `<FILEHANDLE>` operator. Once you explain yourself more clearly, we can provide more specific answers as well.

To break a path up into directory and file components, you can either split on the / character, or for a more portable solution, use File::Spec's splitpath and splitdir functions.	[reply]
