in reply to Subroutine processes only one file in the directory

I see one mistake. Change: 
    my $filename = @_;

[download]

to: 

    my $filename = $_[0];

[download]

Your code always assigns $filename=1, instead of the actual file name. Prove this to yourself by printing $filename inside your sub right after the assignment.

    I did that and it works! And you are right, when I was printing $filename, it returned one! Unfortunately I had a file named 1 and I thought it was only taking the last file in the array! Thanks for the help! :)
