Kenosis it was resolved. Im facing another issue. I need to pick list.txt files one by one from each 5 subdirectories(d1,d2,d3,d4,d5) in the present directory. Here's the relevant snippet from the code

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use List::Util qw/ max /;

open my $fh, "<", 'SUPERLIST_PRODUCT' or die $!;
my $spr_prod = do {local $/; <$fh>};
close $fh or die $!;
my @spr_prod = $spr_prod =~ /\d+/g;

open $fh, "<", 'SUPERLIST_SUBSTRATE' or die $!;
my $spr_substr = do {local $/; <$fh>};
close $fh or die $!;
my @spr_substrate = $spr_substr =~ /\d+/g;

my @matrix;
my $path = '.'; # (current directory - '.') or path to data files
my @file = qw/list.txt/;

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
