Re^2: perl script to print just directory names

[marto]

"but can please someone show me how to store these basenames in some sort of array so that i can use them later part in the code."

Consider reading and understanding the code you've posted, you already do this for a different array/value:

push(@dir, $file);

So rather than print the value of basename($file) to screen push the value of basename($file) into @dir_names.Read push, http://learn.perl.org.

Update: slight clarification.
