You've already received good answers. But as an aside, to help clarify your code: hippo's refactoring to foreach my $subdir (@files) implied my suggestion, but I will make it more explicit (and go a little farther): please don't call a list of subdirectories @files, nor an element from that list $file. You'll just confuse anyone else trying to read or sustain your code, and probably yourself in the future, by saying you are changing directory into a file. Use foreach my $subdir ( @subdirs ), or $name ... @names, or $vehicle, or $machine, or $thingamagoob. It's helpful to give the variables names meaningful to the context -- but please, please, whatever you do, don't give it a name that's misleading, confusing, or wrong for the context. Please. :-)

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).
